About

Lily Lang SEC Burnerverse Trolling refers to an informal harassment and trolling campaign targetting a university student named Lily Lang that was initiated by various anonymous fraternity members in Southeastern Conference (SEC) schools. In a disparate Twitter / X community they call the "burnerverse," various anonymous Twitter accounts associated with SEC fraternities shared memes about Lily Lang in June 2024, alleging that she cheated on her boyfriend with pledges from different frats and colleges or was notoriously promiscuous prior to dating him. Rumors of a "video" involving Lang also spread online at the time.

Yeah so she may or may not have had sex with like 35% of the SEC. Solid head tho…stay strong brother.."
