Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh s fraternity at Yale has long been notorious for disrespecting women, including while he was a member, the Yale Daily News reported on Thursday.

The campus newspaper posted a photo of smiling initiates of Kavanaughs frat, Delta Kappa Epsilon , waving a flag created with several pieces of womens underwear as they marched outside Yales central administrative building on Jan. 18, 1985.

Kavanaugh, who does not appear in the photo, was a sophomore at the time and already a member of the frat, according to the paper.

A student at the time, Rachel Eisler, complained in a letter to the Yale Daily News three days after the procession that the activity demeans women. She said that when she confronted a student holding the flag, he quipped: Hey, your panties might be here.

I was totally shocked that something like that would happen at Yale, Eisler recalled in a recent interview with the News.

A member of the frat at that time told the newspaper the underwear was obtained consensually. It was probably part of a scavenger hunt pledges were typically sent on, with the underwear donated willingly by women who wanted to play along, he said.

But a female classmate of Kavanaughs complained in a post on the YaleWomen Facebook page that DKE brothers would often ransack womens rooms while they were in class to grab their underwear. Comedian Heather Gold also recalled pushy, creepy and entitled pledges coming drunk to her room in 1987, demanding underwear.

Ill add, I had classmates in fall of 87 while pledging come to our room drunk to dry to get out bras etc. They were loud, entitled pushy and creepy.

They didnt care what we thought.

Its completely believable all of this wasnt consensual.

Kavanaugh also belonged to an all-male secret senior society called Truth and Courage, which no longer exists. Some students knew the group by the nickname Tit and Clit, the newspaper reported.

Kavanaughs school days have come under increasing scrutiny in the wake of an accusation by California professor Christine Blasey Ford , professionally known as Christine Blasey, that he sexually assaulted her when they were both in high school.

Another teen Blasey said was in the room, Mark Judge, was a high school classmate of Kavanaughs at the all-male Georgetown Prep. In his memoir, Wasted: Tales of a GenX Drunk, Judge recalled spending his days drunk and trying to hook up with girls.

Blasey said through her attorney on Thursday that she is willing to negotiate the terms of testimony about her experience before the Senate Judiciary Committee next week.
