Zee Eisenstat
A student and fraternity boy at Ryland College who sexually assaults a number of young women, including Greer Kadetsky. After the sexual assault victims bring a formal complaint to the college, Darren is given a mere slap on the wrist. The administration’s weak response results in outrage from many students—especially Zee and Greer, who make shirts with Darren Tinzler’s face on them to continue to spread the message of his unfair escape from punishment or consequence.

Quotes
Soon the other girls rallied and came forward, and while the college initially tried to avoid any kind of public airing, under pressure officials agreed to hold a disciplinary hearing. It took place in a biology lab in the pale, leaking light of a Friday afternoon, when everyone was already thinking about the weekend ahead. Greer, when it was her turn to speak, stood in front of a glossy black table lined with Bunsen burners, and half-whispered what Darren Tinzler had said and done to her that night at the party. She was sure she had a fever from testifying, a wild and inflamed fever. Scarlet fever, maybe.
