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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
