Fraternities in America have spent 2015 more or less acting as if the rules of law and decency do not apply to them. Of course, this is not without reason: for much of the last 200 or so years, our fraternities have been granted a unique pass that has treated their singular incubation of poisonous masculinity as a net positive for society.

Recently, though, that has begun to change. With a collective microscope being turned on their swarming petri dish, fraternities have been forced to reckon with their actions in very public ways. Still, no amount of press conferences or negative headlines have stopped the men inside fraternities from happily practicing any and all forms of abuse. With this post, we aim to keep track of it all.

Some stories—like the Oklahoma University's Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter being thrown off campus for reciting a racist chant—make national headlines, but others—such as Sigma Chi getting suspended at the University of Houston for hazing—may not. Regardless, we will chronicle every fraternity indiscretion here as a way of tabulating the physical and mental havoc wrought by the Y-chromosome'd wing of the Greek system.

Below you will find two things. First is a tabulation of which schools and fraternity organizations have dealt with multiple instances or accusations of wrongdoing this year. Next, is the full list of incidents from 2015.

If we have left any incidents off, let us know in the comments or by email. If you see a story at any point as 2015 continues, please email tips@gawker.com or me directly at jordan@gawker.com so that the post can be updated.
