I confess that I didn't read all five pages of posts, and this might have been noted already, but I think her story just points out that we ought to be really careful with any "standards" issue stories.
She was date raped and abandoned by people who should have been her friends.
But how many of her "sisters" were told that she was making the group look bad because she was having sex in public at fraternity parties? I mean told about it in a way that made it seem she elected to do it? Who knows?
It seems especially sad to me that she, like many others, seems eager to believe that her experience is representative of Greek life when it sure as seems unlike anything I ever experienced.
I know that I heard stories about fraternities doing stuff like that*, but since I was never much for hanging out at fraternity houses, I never actual knew of any specific instances of it happening. And I never heard of anyone being kicked out of a group based on any one or two instances of misbehavior, particularly without some investigation of events by committees involving advisers, who probably wouldn't have blamed the victim of a sexual assault, but maybe I'm too optimistic.
*These were FOAF stories with not specific victim or perpetrator mentioned. It's not like I could have even tried to encourage the girl to report it or anything.
