In @nytopinion.nytimes.com College student groups wouldn't be allowed to recruit on campus if its members were three times as likely to commit sexual assault as the general student body, write four former students at American University. “Why did this double standard exist for fraternities?”

In the dark ages, I specifically opted to go to a college that had no fraternities, Oberlin College. In those days many excellent colleges were not co-ed, another reason for my choice. They set me up very well for a career as a physical chemistry researcher, and also aided my musical proclivities.

I have never understood the point of fraternities and sororities. They’re these bizarre anachronisms that diminish student safety and foster moral corruption.

It happens at frat parties. It happens at parties on college campuses. In the chapels of churches. In the locker rooms. In the doctors' exam room. It happens anywhere and every where men believe they'll get away with it. Sexual assault is a problem of toxic masculinity. Men have to start standing up

This double standard is unacceptable; institutions must hold all groups to the same safety standards.

Because americans are evil. The worst kind of fascist people the World have already received in it's billion years of existence. Now the so called u s a is the biggest threat to humanity, since the beginning of the country foundation. u s a is a tumor on earth.

Yeah, the fact that sororities also hold a higher incident rate for their members compared to non-sorority women in the same colleges tells me that they're essentially being accomplices for any people who prey on their members.
