@Adamant In this case a "meme" is a kind of malware that is able to jump "operating system boundaries" well enough to treat human begins as just another platform.

Almost certainly this is one of the Meme Wars series of books by John Barnes. Your description doesn't actually give enough info to positively identify which of the books it is, but it's most likely to be Kaleidoscope Century. The protagonist talks about seizing a sorority house in the name of its meme deity and proceeding to rape (or "serb") the prettiest girls.
That had been fun; Fargo Dome hadn’t been hit significantly before,
and the loot was terrific. Not to mention Sadi and I had grabbed one
whole sorority house at the University of North Dakota, turned the
ugly ones over to One True and spent three days serbing the pretty
ones before Murphy called the unit back in and we had to hang all of
them.
