Summer 2014: Poetry
Binders Full of Women
by Shawn Aveningo
… and they brought us whole binders full of women. |
It wasn’t until after the attack I discovered the binder. Forty-seven girls drugged, stripped, photographed, raped. Page 48 sits empty, waiting for the photo they took of me. Greek Council enforced crackdown on hazing, but for this, Sigma Chi had no such policy. Buried beneath public philanthropy and brotherhood, lie bones of broken sisters, shattered souls, shards of shame – a mosaic whose mortar weakened year by year, one woman bravely blowing the lid off the coffin.
