Forbes deleted this, but it shows just how misogynists and nuts blame the victim. The gravest threat to fraternities is… wait for it… drunk female guests.

A recent incident at MIT’s Lambda Chi Alpha chapter in which a drunk female student apparently danced her way out of a window has, once again, resulted in a clamp-down on all fraternity parties. Thankfully, she seems to be recovering. And while this may appear to be a freak accident, something like this could happen on any campus, at any dorm or fraternity party, wet or dry. Unless and until we address how student drinking culture has evolved in response to the very regulations designed to control it, incidents like this are not going to go away. As recriminations against fraternities mount and panicked college administrators search for an easy out, one factor doesn’t seem to be getting sufficient analysis: drunk female guests.

Before feminist web vigilantes call for my defenestration, I single out female guests for one simple reason. Fraternity alumni boards, working with chapter officers, employ a variety of policies designed to guide and police member behavior. Our own risk management manual exceeds 22 pages. The number of rules and procedures that have to be followed to run a party nowadays would astound anyone over 40. We take the rules very seriously, so much so that brothers who flout these policies can, and will, be asked to move out. But we have very little control over women who walk in the door carrying enough pre-gaming booze in their bellies to render them unconscious before the night is through.

Fraternities across the nation are regularly disbanded on campuses because of hazing, alcohol abuse, deaths, or alcohol related injuries or deaths. The culture of the fraternities encourages binging and excessive consumption of alcohol - by the members and their guests.

But once again, we’ve got someone blaming victims for requiring the need for fraternities to better police themselves to reduce the instances of date rape, sexual assaults, and alcohol-related injuries.
