由于女性在兄弟会环境中继续受到剥削和伤害，了解兄弟会生活的文化是必要的。本研究考察了一所大型研究型大学的兄弟会文化。依靠对文化和权力的批判观点，本文强调了尽管消除了传统的宣誓程序，兄弟会如何继续再现压迫文化。兄弟会文化，兄弟情谊，宣誓，性剥削，边缘化/VIC- TIMIZATION在地下室聚会室角落的一张桌子周围坐着十个兄弟会的兄弟。桌子中间放着一大罐啤酒，兄弟俩面前的杯子里装满了不同数量的啤酒。九双眼睛盯着兄弟中的一个，他似乎在讲什么故事。兄弟俩身体前倾，想听得更清楚，围坐在桌旁的十兄弟周围的12个左右旁观者也是如此。旁观者大多是妇女，她们皱着眉头，眯着眼睛，半心半意的微笑透露出她们的困惑和乐趣。讲故事的人语速很快，起初听起来像是在用某种陌生的或外国方言说话。然而，过了一会儿，很明显，所说的语言确实是普通英语，但语气和节奏不同寻常。他直接看着兄弟们，一个接一个，没有特别的顺序。他很快把头转到桌子的另一边，好像在假装那对兄弟。他突然停了下来，另一个兄弟开始讲述自己的故事。有一段时间，除了一个兄弟之外，所有的兄弟都坐下来笑了起来，同时用胳膊肘指着另一个兄弟，然后他从啤酒杯里倒满了啤酒，把所有的东西都喝光了。显然，讲故事的人在他的故事中提到了一个暗号或昵称，代表坐在桌子旁的另一个兄弟。当这种情况发生时，被提到名字的兄弟必须从前面讲故事的人停止的地方继续讲下去，开始阐述他自己的版本。如果一个兄弟没有听到他的名字，或者在继续讲故事时犹豫不决，他必须喝满一杯啤酒。
Because women continue to be exploited and victimized in fraternity settings, understanding the culture of fraternity life is imperative. This study examines the culture of a fraternity situated at a large research university. Relying on critical views of culture and power, this article highlights how a fraternity continues to reproduce a culture of oppression despite elimination of the tradi- tional pledge process. FRATERNITY CULTURE, BROTHERHOOD, PLEDGING, SEXUAL EXPLOITATION, MARGINALIZATION/VIC- TIMIZATION Around a table in the corner of the basement party room sit ten fraternity brothers. In the middle of the table is a large pitcher of beer, and in front of the brothers are glasses filled with varying amounts of beer. Nine pairs of eyes fixate on one of the brothers, who appears to be telling some sort of story. The brothers lean forward to hear more clearly, as do the 12 or so onlookers, who encircle the ten brothers seated around the table. The onlookers are mostly women, whose wrinkled brows, squinting eyes, and half-hearted smiles reveal both their confusion and amusement. The storyteller speaks quickly, and at first he sounds as if he is talking in some strange or foreign dialect. After a while, however, it becomes clear that the language spoken is indeed common English, but with an unusual tone and cadence. He looks directly at the brothers, one by one, in no particular order. Quickly he turns his head to the other side of the table as if to fake the brothers. Out of nowhere he stops, and another brother begins to fashion his own narrative. At one point, all the brothers except one sit back and laugh, while at the same time pointing with their elbows at another brother, who then fills his glass from the pitcher of beer and chugs the entire contents. Evidently, the storyteller at some point in his tale mentions a code word or nickname that represents another brother sitting at the table. When this occurs, the brother whose name is mentioned must pick up the tale where the previous storyteller left off and begin elaborating his own version. If a brother fails to hear his name or is hesitant in continuing the story, he must chug a full glass of beer.
