[quote=Anonymous]My biggest question is why a 19 year old was drinking at a fraternity party. He was clearly underage. The fraternity had an obligation to ensure he was not being served.

This is a tough one. The victim did make bad choices. There's no way around it, and I'm fairly certain she recognizes it, even if she can't say it aloud. What I'm struggling with is how do I approach this with my kids? Do I tell my teenage daughter, go ahead and drink until you're unconscious at a party? Yes, rape is a punishable crime, but do I really want to tell her that it doesn't matter if she's out of her mind drunk at a party with a whole bunch of equally drunk men? Of course it does!

I have explained to them that not only do I expect them not to drink underage, and I have made it very clear, especially to my college aged student, that a person who is drunk or high or otherwise incapacitated cannot consent to sexual contact, and is an automatic no go. I have stressed that I think drinking in a college environment is a bad idea even for people who are of age, because the social pressure to do so is irresponsibly intense. I have also stressed that I expect them to look out for any friend, male or female, who is obviously drunk and out of control. [/quote]
