Well and the biggest flaw I see in it is that the end expectation isn't clear. It's "to their satisfaction" but there aren't clear thresholds, yet, on what "satisfaction" means.
But, on the other end, there's the benefit of instead of the fraternity not addressing the reasons behind why women avoid their house (is it cause they're nerds? is it cause they've got the rapist reputation) when it happens "naturally" - they know outright "THIS is why. Address it." Which I think could be beneficial toward actually taking steps toward limiting this type of behavior. It'd be awesome if it was all assault in general but I think since the sorority women are particularly worried about sexual assault then it's appropriate for them to target sexual assault at this juncture.
Of course, it seems like the fraternities are already doing things to address rape culture (if the statements from the IFC president are factual and taken seriously on a chapter level) and yes, grassroots does tend to work better, but I see nothing wrong with sororities trying to leverage the power they do have in a way to support that goal.
I do like the idea of presidents mediating with one another, as well.
