I don't disagree with the concept, I was simply noting that group pressure used for good also comes with concomitant downsides.

If the options are 'encouraging accountability' resulting in none, and quasi-enforcing it with social and public pressure... then yeah I'll take the latter. And that goes for any situation, not just this one.

If this dilemma were true, I'd agree. I'm certain it's false, though - I applaud the sororities for taking action, which is generally better than inaction, and I hope it has the desired effect. I just think there is an unfortunate non-zero chance it will have unintended effects.
