Woman Who Crafted Fraternity Gang Rape Story Summoned By Judge

Remember that story about the girl named "Jackie" who claimed she was brutally gang raped by members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at the University of Virginia? I already wrote about how the story has been proven to be completely fabricated, and now I'm happy to report that "Jackie," whose name is still confidential, has been summoned to appear before a judge on April 5th.

When the original "story" broke, UVA erupted into chaos. The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house was vandalized and brothers of the house received numerous death threats. People all across the country called for Greek Life to get disbanded.

It was recently revealed that Jackie made up this hoax so a crush would come to her rescue.

According to Total Frat Move, "After a student named Ryan Duffin rejected her advances, she started texting him under a made-up boy’s name, Haven Monahan. She used photos of a classmate from her high school in Northern Virginia to trick Duffin into thinking Monahan was real. Monahan would be the one to eventually 'rape' Jackie in the Phi Kappa Psi house."

Apparently, Duffin found Monahan's interest in Jackie pretty weird. He has recalled how he once received a text from Monahan that said, "Get this, she said she likes some other first-year guy who doesn't like her and turned her down, but she won't date me cause she likes him."

I'm not sure what makes less sense. That text, or the fact that Jackie used the name Haven Monahan.

Rolling Stone is still facing a $25 million lawsuit from Phi Kappa Psi. That lawsuit combined with Jackie's summons could help set a precedent for false rape accusations from this moment forward.

Rape is a serious issue. Proven perpetrators of rape need to be severely punished. But at the same time, people who make false accusations need to be punished as well, as their actions take precious time away needed to solve and prevent actual future instances of rape and sexual assault.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
