Excellent question, and one that I hope sorority members, advisers, Panhellenics, and so on will seriously ask themselves. It's troubling to know that sororities can feel that it's more important to be able to mix / party with (at least some) fraternities than to support undergrad sisters in cases like this.

For example, see

Also, it's part of the "cool girl" thing that's such a big deal with the youngsters. A "cool girl" doesn't support other women when they're being attacked by men. A "cool girl" doesn't let that stuff happen to her because a "cool girl" knows how to handle her booze. Ugh.
