The Sigma Nu chapter at University of Central Florida was placed on interim suspension after the university received an audio recording featuring comments encouraging rape, the Washington Post reported Monday.

The Orlando Sentinel reported on Friday that the audio was recorded on June 9 at a Sigma Nu off-campus apartment where four Sigma Nu members were present.

From the Florida newspaper:

A woman, who is not a UCF student, returned with her boyfriend to the apartment after a date to the movies and filmed the scene, the report said. The woman then gave the videos to a UCF student, according to the report. That woman filed a complaint with UCF.

In one of the recordings, a man could be heard yelling phrases like, “Let’s rape some fucking sluts” and “Let’s rape some bitches.” There’s also a male voice repeatedly saying “rape.”

The Orlando-based university told Sigma Nu members that they “should expect a Title IX investigation,” according to the Post.

Knight News, a nonprofit news website, has the explicitly worded video here.

    Oh, come now. It’s just a frat boy prank emulating those Negro attitudes about women. No one complains when they go to see Straight Outta Compton…
