"Building better men" at Chi Phi. Yup, folks, it's not going well.

 

Headline:  New York Times op-ed by Jennifer Weiner. 9/30/2026

Hearing about it, I was incandescent with rage, as were a great many others. The immediate public outcry focused on the Snapchat message, the lack of any criminal charges, the apparent failure of anyone in the fraternity to intervene. Only two of the seven alleged assailants were expelled, and some of the discipline Cornell meted out included having the men write essays. I am so angry right now, I saw women posting on social media. We need to raise better men.  [emphasis added]
