For those of you who are asking how a 16-year-old could have been at a fraternity party, and how she could have known one of the brothers, and how her mother didn't know about it: Can't you easily imagine a situation like this?

Just think: girl grows up in a college town. A friend from high school, a few years older than her, graduates, stays in town to go to college, and joins said fraternity. That's how the girl knows someone in the fraternity. She tells her mom that she's going to go spend the night over at her friend Suzy's house, but instead they go to the fraternity party, which they know about through the friend in the fraternity. It all goes from there.

Maybe it's just because I know a lot of people at my uni who also grew up in this town, but it sounds like a common enough situation to me. Doesn't make it right, just means that it does happen.
