More text messages between Jane Doe and the Cornell frat boys have been brought into the light and they’re not pretty.

The horrific drug-filled orgy or gang rape (depending on who you talk to) occurred on October 20, 2024, 10 days ahead of the biggest college party weekend of the year known as “Halloweekend” (don’t fret kids, this will come into play later).

In the past few weeks, a few snippets of the text messages between Jane Doe and the Cornell Chi Phi brothers were released, but now, actual screenshots of the messages are bringing more receipts. Doe’s attorney, however, dismissed the newly revealed screenshots as part of “her processing what had happened on Oct. 20”.

The “processing” went something like this. Jonathan Newell, Jane Doe’s original “hookup”, sent Doe a text apologizing for how stuff “went down” that night. Doe, replied in kind:

aw jonathan i really appreciate this text. my memories super clouded too. i think we were all way to f–king drunk and high.”-Jane Doe

Way to (sic) f–king drunk and high? This girl got admitted to CORNELL. And, like, aw…Jonathan. Such a sweet guy doing damage control for him and his bros after telling them there was “free p-ssy upstairs”. After joking with his “brothers” about having an eight-some with her. After his frat brother, the freaking PRESIDENT of the fraternity, told guys to come on up and “whip it out” in that group text of Chi Phi actives. WHATTA DREAMBOAT. Moving on…

at the end of the day non of the sexual stuff was illegal and honestly i really like being w u and matt. so anything anyone has to say about the gamgbang [sic] is out of their jurisdiction.”-Jane Doe

Still processing. A gamgbang (sic). Not a rape. But wait…there’s more.

I don’t think we should feel any shame for the part. our body our choice asf.”-Jane Doe

Our body, our choice asf. Translation=as f-ck. Still processing, at this point…

yall were both super out of it and they should have taken it on themselves to leave. at the end of the day you, matt, and i were in your bed and they didn’t need to get up on that.”-Jane Doe

Such an intimate moment upstairs at the Chez Chi Phi. An intimate threesome, our body, our choice asf. More from Jane Doe:

if you have any regrets or anything you want to talk about i am always here to talk about it cause that was a lot. i really do love u and matt and i promise i wont get quiet and weird w u like i did last time.”-Jane Doe

I really do love you and Matt? Like I did last time? Was there a time before this time?

Jane Doe (processing, of course) then goes on to talk about one of the most “jaw dropping moments” of the night:

ps. i’m not sure if u remember but i did ket off your d–k at some point? and i honestly think that was one of the most insane/jaw dropping moments of the night.”-Jane Doe

Making memories. I can see these two at the Parents Weekend Greek Row tailgate now. “Jane” (to husband): Meet Jonathan. I did ketamine off his private member in a wild night some years back.”

As I’ve mentioned before, these guys are not “gentlemen”, they’re downright disgusting. But, whether she was “processing” or she truly felt a “closeness” with two guys upstairs in a frat house, Jane Doe’s texts can be a damning, cautionary tale to women about straight-up bad decisions.

Jane Doe did not claim to be the victim of a gang rape until she was disinvited to the Chi Phi’s Halloween party. Becoming a social outcast on the biggest party weekend of the year on Greek Row can be a death sentence for some, and enough to cause one scorned female to go scorched earth. All of a sudden, “our body, our choice asf” became gang rape. Which begs the question, what did she have a hard time “processing”? The lewd and disgusting acts she put her body (her choice) through or the utter embarrassment of being a social exile?

As a parent to a young man who is in college who was, at one time, considering Greek Life, I would love to say that this toxicity does not exist. That college life is filled with idyllic experiences of freedom (whatever that means to you), meeting your best friends who will be at your wedding, meeting your soulmate, going on spring break with your besties, formals and off-the-hook parties. I was, at one point, for him joining a fraternity for the “perfect” college experience. But, after a professor cautioned his potential students about the intensity of his classes and that most of the failing grades came from the brothers on Greek Row, our son came to his own conclusions and decided to forgo rushing. At times, it’s been a lonely road for him on an occasional weekend. Our son, on the other hand, has been very candid about his experiences. He is, smart, good-looking and indeed, a gentleman and has been to enough parties on Greek Row to be at peace with his decision to not join the mob. As a “geed” (Greek term for God-D*mn Independent”), he says the current culture is toxic, time consuming and cultish, even. And, sadly, the guys are not the only players here. Some of the young women have the buy in and they are active participants or even complicit in the corruption, lies and immorality.

Which begs all of the questions. If Jane Doe was so intoxicated around her “house mom” and fellow “sisters” at a bar, why did they let her walk by herself to the Chi Phi house? If the Chi Phi house was too busy downstairs, and Jane Doe went upstairs with these guys, where were the other women at this party? Did they all stay downstairs or was it a complete sausage fest? I am willing to bet that there were women at that house that night who saw something and they are NOT talking. And, let’s address the biggest elephants in the room here. The overarching theme of substance abuse.

Now, I’ve done some homework here. Let’s talk about “social fees” for these Greek houses. Not membership fees. Not housing fees. The “social fees”. These “social fees” are not on the books and are paid for IN CASH. Why? Because “social fees” contribute to the purchase of alcohol (read: underage drinking as some of the underage brothers fork out more $$ for the social fee) AND, quite possibly, other substances. The houses do not want this on their ledgers. Why? Because there is, indeed, a street-to-Greek-Row-drug pipeline that every university tends to push under the table and none of the alumni discuss. People have tried to bring it out and were hit with cease-and-desist letters from these organizations. Alcohol, drugs and substance abuse is the gross underbelly of the Greek Row Beast that no one wants to talk about and the powerful machines behind these letters want to squash any rumors or reports like a bug.

Almost half of fraternity members have symptoms of alcohol addiction in young adulthood
Approximately 26% of women who lived in a sorority house developed alcohol addiction symptoms by age 35.

Data from a 10-year study about Greek life alcohol and drinking statistics revealed that:

Of a national fraternity of 3,400 members, 97% drank alcohol regularly and 64% identified as binge drinkers.

Statistics from other surveys show the direct effects of substance use in Greek organizations. Each year:

Around 500,000 members suffer unintentional injuries related to substance use
70,000 cases of sexual assault and acquaintance rape
1,400 members die from alcohol-related causes
600,000 assaults occur”-therecoveryvillage.com

Just recently, The University of Arizona suspended fraternity activities. Whatever is there to do? Ahead of Halloweekend! Whether the university is serious about cracking down or just posturing, only time will tell.

I feel for our kids, I really do. The tale of Cornell is not the makings of “the glory days”. It is also not the “best years of one’s life”. But universities partner with fraternities and sororities and sell it as such. Alumni are also at fault for doing so and avoiding the very serious conversations that need to be had because they don’t want their good times to end. In truth, this goes beyond bad decisions. This also marks and illustrates a severe shift in priorities (education) and a deviation from all self-respect and morality on both sides. It is decay of humanity at its finest.

Fall on College Campus, USA means it is the time for revealing “Halloweekend” (out)fits and cute little formal pics with cliche, contrived poses of girls in the same color dress and frat boys cosplaying as “gentlemen” will take over on Instagram. (Don’t worry, the group text for free sex comes later in the night.) The unsaid statement to some of these young people whose frontal lobes are still undeveloped is, “if you’re not THIS, you’re missing out. If you’re not THIS, you’re a freaking loser.” And let’s also throw in football season where alumni dads ogle (I’ve heard the comments) these same girls donning their cowboy boots and short-shorts, butt cheeks hanging out for the world to see, yearning for a glimpse of their “glory days”. Honestly, I stopped counting butt cheeks at a college football game few weeks ago.

Degrading and disgusting? Yes. And, corrupt asf. Happy Friday. Here’s to making “Geed” Great Again. Now, where’s my tequila shot?
