In June 2024, a troubling harassment campaign targeting a university student named Lily Lang emerged, initiated by anonymous fraternity members from various Southeastern Conference (SEC) schools. This informal campaign, predominantly waged on Twitter (now X), has involved the sharing of derogatory memes and posts insinuating Lang’s involvement in multiple s*xual encounters with men from different colleges.
Lily Lang Leaked Video Scandal
The campaign gained significant traction on June 24th, when an anonymous X account, @popdatpussyfoAC, run by Arthur Cacciatore, shared an image of two college students with a caption suggesting Lang had s*xual relations with 35% of the SEC. Cacciatore’s profile describes him as a former Sigma Nu member, “racist,” “divorced,” and an “addict,” adding a layer of controversy to his claims.
Cacciatore’s post rapidly went viral, with numerous anonymous X accounts sharing the image and creating memes mocking Lang. On the same day, user @cryptoxa_ posted a Corey Harris Driving meme that garnered over 1,900 likes, while user @CridneySrosby shared a Guy Explaining style meme about the “burnerverse,” amassing over 1,000 likes.

The “burnerverse” is a term used to describe a community of anonymous X accounts discussing college fraternities and sporting news. The Lang controversy quickly became a hot topic within this community, with comparisons to previous viral figures like the Hawk Tuah Girl. User @DuragRebel made a viral post comparing Lang to other infamous women, which received over 6,000 likes, and user @whiskeycoke_ posted a 1000 Yard Stare meme about Lang’s boyfriend, which also attracted significant attention.
Lily Lang, a Tennessee student, initially posted an innocent birthday photo with her boyfriend, which triggered the subsequent harassment. According to social media analysis, various fraternity members from SEC schools began claiming to have had s*xual encounters with Lang, turning her into a widespread meme.
TikTok user Taylorscoldtakes explained the situation in a video, stating that Lang’s photo led to numerous fraternity members alleging past encounters with her. X user John added context, suggesting that a supposed text chain among SEC schools detailed these claims.
Memes portraying Lang as promiscuous flooded social media, with one meme depicting her as the “queen of hoes” atop all SEC schools, and another video meme showing a never-ending chain of men entering “Lily Lang’s door.”
Despite the overwhelming negative response, some individuals have defended Lang, criticizing the campaign as s*xist and juvenile. TikTok user dgaf423 argued that the backlash against Lang was hypocritical, as similar behavior by male fraternity members often goes unchallenged.

As the harassment campaign against Lily Lang continues to unfold, it highlights the darker side of social media dynamics, where individuals can be publicly shamed and harassed. The situation has drawn comparisons to the Hawk Tuah girl incident, demonstrating the volatile and often harmful nature of online virality.
Meanwhile, another college student, Sydney Thomas, has begun to trend, being described as the “Alabama version of Lily Lang.” Although details about Thomas are scarce, her sudden rise in notoriety suggests a recurring pattern of online harassment within the SEC community.
