it says if you get raped it isn't good for you to tell because then your sorority will be unpopular, unaccepted, or blacklisted amongst Greek society...
i don't necessarily believe it...just wanted to get the truth from girls that are actually in sororities...
PLEASE give me a straight answer....like "YES there is a rape problem and it happens a lot" or "no not really thats just a stereotype"
that'd help a lot

For campus wide stats, check here:
http://www.securityoncampus.org/
and if this link works, "UA" did report a few:

And if you do a search under "campus rape" in any search engine I am sure you will find all
sorts of answers.
One I just found was this:

And in the news of past 48 hours:
University president fired after alleged rape cover-up

And finally, one of the things that still gives me a bad, sour taste in my mouth
:
I know of one date rape that did happen in my chapter.
But as shown in above, rape does happen on campus in any kind of living group as well as it happens in general society.
I am not aware of any kind of study nor record that would show any difference between living areas and the crime taking place.
