I don’t think there’s any evidence supporting the assertion that fraternity men are more guiltyt than anyone else. A woman makes a choice when she lifts an alcoholic beverage to her mouth and drinks, and puts herself at risk the more she consumes.. In my day, it was written in the rules that women were to conduct themselves as ladies at all times. We bore that responsibility.. If not, we faced expulsion, so even though we were allowed to drink, we’d better look straight when we came in. We lived in women’s dorms, had to sign in at a certain hour, and both women and men were watched like hawks with chaperones in attendance at parties. It was rare then because we lived in a much more protected environment. I believe the relaxation of rules has a lot to do with the increase, but womrn today would never accept rules as we did so I don’t know what the solution is, but it isn’t going to stop even if the fraternity system becomes nonexistent.
