What makes her story unbelievable is not that she's legal to drink, or that she may have been an initated member, but her own language.

"I was driven to dinner"

"I was led..."

"I was told..."

Not:

"They blindfolded me and shoved me into a car then pulled me out of the car and dragged me by the hair into a fraternity house"

"They threatened me that they'd take away my membership if I didn't do what they wanted"

"They forced me to play beer pong by tying a string to my arm and making me 'throw' a pingpong ball across a table full of red solo cups filled with beer"

"They held me down and poured alcohol down my throat"

Every accusation in the (albeit edited) interview is a passive statement. Victims don't normally speak that way; they typically use active verbs.

Obviously, I don't want her to have been hazed/hurt/threatened, but the story just doesn't add up to her victimization.
