So basically: Brother is at bar, yells something incredibly hurtful and offensive at girl talking to another brother. Girl throws her drink on him. He throws a blender (or bottle, accounts differ) at her head, then shoves her up against a wall, at which point his brothers have to drag him off. Should she have thrown her drink? no. Was what he said bad? yeah, it was.
Knight_Shadow, I get what you're saying about bylaws, but keep in mind the strong local culture at Dartmouth....very few of the fraternities in question are national, and the ones that are still answer to chapter alumni boards to a far greater degree than national orgs.
It's not about fraternities policing themselves as sororities see fit, its about them policing themselves. period. Holding your members accountable for their actions is not an unreasonable request. No one is asking their members not to go to the fraternity in question; its actually a house that generally has a reputation for being nice guys, in general. But what happened wasn't okay, and a lot of things that happen on this campus aren't okay. And when we as houses schedule events despite really not okay things getting shoved under the rug, we're kinda complicit in their continuing to happen. So when something isn't okay, we're going to let the organization know that, by canceling social events until it is addressed.
