Dude on Gawker says close all frats--they're rape factories

OT Frat daddies, please respond
First three graphs:
The University of Virginia, in response to a recent Rolling Stone article that exposes an alleged 2012 gang rape at the Phi Kapp Psi chapter on its campus, announced over the weekend that it was shutting down all of its fraternities immediately. The only problem with that announcement is that the university also said it plans to let the fraternities reopen January 9. The right time to bring back the fraternities is never.
That details of that incident illustrate not only how a young woman can get raped at college, but also how her school will try its hardest to do nothing about it. As Rolling Stone recounts it, a freshman student was befriended by a Kappa brother, who gained her trust over the course of the semester's few weeks. He invited her over to a party at the fraternity's towering home base, and there he brought her back to a room where he and six other men took turns raping her.
The events reported in that story are an especially gruesome version of an act that is far too common at America's fraternities—according to a 2007 study, men who enter fraternities are three times as likely to commit rape as their fellow students who do not. It is past time for the country's colleges and universities to shut down their fraternity systems, entirely and forever.
LINK to the rest.

The author probably went to Vassar or some shite.

Wow, this guy's not biased at all.
That's pretty much every single stereotype and caricature of fraternities condensed into one paragraph.
quote:
Phi Kappa Psi, like all fraternities, exists to teach bad values to developing young man. Sent off to campus to educate themselves as individuals, fraternity members instead learn to subordinate their values and plans to a collective. After a torturous and dehumanizing selection process, fraternity members are able to write a check and purchase 30 new friends; it's not surprising that they would see sex—pour a drink, girl is yours—as similarly transactional.

OR....young girls could just stay away from frat houses and frat douches?
Instead of banning and outlawing shite all of the time we need to be teaching responsibility.

I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did.
But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system?
And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America.
Gentlemen!

The Rolling Stone article was sensationalized. Northern Fraternities and Western Fraternities are garbage. Not saying Southern Fraternities are in-capable of rape, but they're a lot better than the northern and western fraternities.

Imagine that. Greeks gonna greek
They're probably also 3x as likely to have consensual sex as your average male student though
