Rat Disciplinary Committee is a select group of upperclassmen at the Virginia Military Institute assigned with the task of enforcing the Ratline and it's rules and regulations. 20 members altogether their goal is to help mold the new Rat mass into young men imbued with
honor, courage, and perseverance amidst an adversarial
system. Taking a bulldog approach,
two members are assigned to each of the ten companies at
VMI supervising that assigned rat company until the end of the Ratline. Acting as an adversarial group to the rats they harshly and strictly make sure rat standards are upheld and punishment is given as a result when failure to
meet the standards is observed. This includes a trial procedure in which the rat is brought before the RDC counsel, is proven
innocent or guilty and is given a sentence which results usually in a incredibly
hard personalized workout done days later. As procedure this group also makes sure the rats are held to the highest fitness standards conducting many
sweat parties, assault
pack marches with rifles, rifle runs, and stadium workouts. The Gatekeepers of VMI, they ensure mediocrity is not accepted and that the strong strive forward while the weak wither away behind.
