We're talking about a student body of nearly 17,000 students. If less than 1:1000 on a campus is experiencing some sort of negative behavior, can we really call it an epidemic?

You've omitted the part where it's just in the last couple of weeks. and it's not an issue of 1:1000 if it's complaints against organizations. If, out of 15 complaints, 6 of those are important and they deal with multiple fraternities that speaks to a campus culture issue surrounding both pledging and the general social climate.
The other issue is now with Title IX and more people speaking out about sexual assault on campus the university is going to be more cautious. If there are obvious issues related to hazing and increased alcohol consumption during pledging those are also going to connect to more issues related to sexual assault or harassment.
