Frat brothers rape 300% more. One in 5 women is sexually assaulted on campus. Should we ban frats?
UK Guardian ^ | September 24, 2014 | Jessica Valenti

When I was at Tulane University, girls were warned about the “bad” fraternities: the ones that spiked the punch at parties with Everclear and maybe drugs, the kind of frats where girls got hurt. During my first week of class 18 years ago, rumours circulated about a girl on my floor who had been sexually assaulted by multiple men at a frat party. These issues were always discussed with a certain nonchalance – as if having at least one rapist around was an inevitable part of fraternity life.

Not much has changed.

Single women should not be going anywhere without a chaperone.

Did I say I don’t say or do anything? Read what I say, not what you imagine.

What did you do, then?

A lot of schools ban frats. A lot of good Christian schools ban frats. I absolutely think they should be banned.

They get counseled which is why we have a low incidence of cases, unlike the party school up the state. We also openly report every single allegation, which is almost unheard of.

While you sit idly by and neither do nor say anything? You are a real piece of work, there.

Not a very Christian response. Not a very smart one either. You have zero information about what he has done.

I understand they had had sex before. He was drunk, she wasn’t. She invited him to her room and her bed. Then he raped her.
