[quote=Anonymous]End social fraternities/sororities. Yes, I know excessive drinking and drug use happens at off-campus and non-Greek parties. But there's something about the Greek system that turns people, young men especially, into reprehensible douchebags. Must be the indoctrination and groupthink involved with rushing? I dunno. But I went to a state school known for partying, and went to my fair share of college parties where heavy drinking occurred. And I had a variety of friends - theater kids, friends involved with lower-profile sports (rowing, sailing, hockey), kids in the anime and video games clubs, druggies, townies, musicians, nerds, all walks of life really. I know of not one sexual assault that happened at my friends' off-campus parties. NOT. ONE.

And turn over prosecutions of sexual assault to the town police. Universities should have nothing to do with it. Campus security is like mall security - they might help if you get something stolen out of your dorm room but they need to leave the investigation of serious crimes to the police. The doctors and nurses at the campus health centers should be able to perform a rape kit and should be mandatory reporters to law enforcement. The problem is that these campus rapists aren't being held responsible for their crimes. They're suspended from school for a semester or a year or whatever - whoop-de-fucking-doo. They're not prosecuted and they don't do any prison time because of people at the universities who discourage girls from reporting their assaults to the police.[/quote]
