No. What it means is that sororities are a whole lot smarter about this than fraternities.

Just a couple of quick facts. Fraternity liability insurance (which is what this thread is really about) is much higher than sororities. In addition, fraternity houses tend to be much more the worse for wear than sorority houses. Part of that is that men probably don't care as much, but a large part is damage due to parties and/or alcohol consumption on the premisis.

Finally, what hadn't really occurred to me but was brought up in a professional risk management newsletter is this:

Guess who causes a fairly high percent of damage (and thus insurance claims) at fraternity properties? Sorority women who have been invited to parties.

I don't like the idea of dry housing, but it is probably absolutely inevitable if fraternities are to survive.
