The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at the University of Virginia said Monday that it is moving forward with a possible lawsuit against Rolling Stone magazine in the wake of the now-retracted "Rape on Campus" article.
"After 130 days of living under a cloud of suspicion as a result of reckless reporting by Rolling Stone magazine, today the Virginia Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi announced plans to pursue all available legal action against the magazine," the fraternity said in a statement.
A spokesman for the fraternity said there has not yet been a formal decision about when a lawsuit will be filed.
The announcement came one day after the magazine published a damning external review of the editorial processes that resulted in the article's publication. The article had alleged that a freshman student named Jackie had been violently gang-raped during a Phi Kappa Psi frat party in September 2012.

Eh, I don’t know if legally she can be included, but maybe.
However, look at it this way, she was a crazy dame with a crazy story. Esp. people in NYC should know that folks like that are a dime a dozen. This gal might even be truly delusional and believe her own lies (I don’t think that’s the case, but her behavior of making up a fictitious guy and having “him” text her friends which I believe predates any contact with the author of the story certainly paints her as a fairly disturbed person). I’m sure Rolling Stone didn’t make her sign anything swearing to the truth of her story. So it was really on them, the PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS as they like to think of themselves to you know, check things out. Which they manifestly didn’t do, and then THEY are the ones who published this story, touted it, put it on the internet. Jackie didn’t do that, they did.
I honestly don’t know if she’s includeable, but I would include her if it’s legally reasonable.
Well, yeah, the conversation is about the dirt rag mag but they have always gotten a lot of mileage out of the name play. The musical group would do well dis-associate themselves clearly from the smutmag——assuming they want to.
More than 10 obamatard covers. So yeah, I hope they go bankrupt.
No please, no settlement. When you know you;re going to win, go all in. Any lib company going down, I am damn happy. especially one with obamatard’s cover twice every year for the past 8 years.
The only way people change is through pain.
financially ruin them now!
“The only way people change is through pain.”
And failure. I was destitute once. Once you hit the gutter and taste it, you don;t want to go back there. Same with Bill Gates, he explains he almost never hires anyone new and hires those who failed in business because they learned their lesson the hard way and will not repeat it.
But with Rolling Stone, F those bastards. I hope they turn that mag into a frathouse publication instead of kissing obamna’s ass all the time.
One hopes that the Rolling Stone, Jann Wenner, and Sabrina “The Fraud” Erdely are destroyed in this action.
And the liar, Jackie Coakley, as well.
The frat needs to sue the Uni too.
Its all Greek to me....
Free beer for broz for decades....
UVa should be funding all with Tappa Kega Day....
No happy ending here...
When this fraternity gets through with Rolling Stone, they are going to have to change around the lyrics of that Dr. Hook song.
Ever notice how the MSM NEVER makes a ‘mistake’ that hurts feminists, blacks, gays, and white liberal elites?
As the owners of the Rolling Stone!"
NAIL 'EM TO THE CROSS!!!!
That would make it KAPstone.
LOL, let’s hope they find something better than that to spend it on. Although... LOL
I am generally not a fan of lawsuits, but in this case I want to see that maggot Jann Wenner cry like a baby.
I saw that movie on a very snowy weekday night
Always had a crush on Sally Field . . . except as The Flying Nun
