(95,337 posts)I was in a sorority and I had many friends who were in Fraternities.
Not all the greeks out there were drunken rape groups. The Greek system is like any other group out there - there's some bad ones out there that make the rest of us look bad. At our college we were all required to do so many hours of community service and keep our grades at a certain level. And although we all did like to party there was little tolerance for shit that was in that article. Even the hint of rape would have landed that group in front of the Dean of Students.
One of the things that my college had done was eliminate the houses, which were one of the more dangerous things and instead we lived in the dorms with everyone else. We were allowed to have a floor specificially for our group and even a lounge area but it was shared with other students who weren't members of our greek. So that did help keep our behavior in line a bit.
