Sex at Duke.

Terry O'Keefe · Jun 12, 2006

Pretty eye opening article. I believe that Bear Down Rick is a former Delt, I wonder if they were this wild at Az. I would guess my thinking that this is wild shows how old I am though.

On a night in late April, barely a month after the rape allegations that have rocked the campus of Duke University, the brothers of Delta Tau Delta, one of the school's top fraternities, are having a party at Shooters, a Durham, North Carolina, dive just south of the Duke campus. It's a Saturday evening, and the men are celebrating spring: a new class of freshly initiated brothers, the imminent end of the school year, warm weather, girls in halter tops. It's 1 a.m., and everyone's covered in bubbles.

This is not just any fraternity party -- it's a ''foam party,'' a sweaty, alcohol-soaked bacchanalia that's a little like taking an enormous bubble bath with hundreds of strangers. At Duke, where crackdowns on the previously party-hearty on-campus social environment have forced much of the scene off-campus, foam parties are promoted by frats as large, open-to-everyone events, and can either be totally fun or totally gross, depending on how drunk you are.

And reading a little further

Sex at Duke is a sport most students participate in, on some level or another. Boys report that it's still a little tough to get a girl to get freaky -- anal sex, for example, is still rare enough that ''any Duke guy could look at a lineup of girls and point out the one who likes it,'' notes one male student (''usually the girl who's drunk and coked out of her gourd at a party at 4 a.m.,'' he adds). But traditional intercourse is common, and oral sex nearly ubiquitous, regarded as sort of a form of elaborate kissing that doesn't really mean very much. ''Everybody gives blow jobs now,'' says Naomi. ''Before,'' she adds -- meaning a pre-Monica/pre-Britney ''before'' -- ''it used to be you'd have sex and then give one.'' But now, girls give them freely -- on their own initiative, she says. (They also tend to get as much as they give, at least according to Duke men.)

Rolling Stone on Sex and Scandal at Duke

I am a Delt, and at our chapter our big spring party was "Shipwreck". We'd cut fronds from the palm trees around campus and hang them in the rec yard of the house. We'd rent straw bales from a local rancher and, using rebar and plastic tarps, build a huge swimming pool. We'd dig a pit and roast a pig, make an exotic tropical drink (Hawaiian Punch and grain alcohol) and hire a reggae/ska band. It was the event of the year for us.

Rick,

My son Scott is a Delt too. That makes us practically family and I'm starting to tear up in shame for the tings I may have said on here that may have hurt you. After all, were all brothers of the same lodge. :cry:

When Scott was going through the year long review process for the NJ State Police he always feared that his Delta experiences might be his Achilles Heel. And they did contact the fraternity but the brothers covered for him as they do for all....

I'm not sure that I approve of all this fraternizing between Yankees and Red Sox...

Amazing how quickly the topic went from sex to alcohol, to law and order, to baseball.
