This issue, kind of like school shootings, kind of like terrorist attacks, etc., while real and while needing to be addressed is not nearly so pervasive as your above sentence would suggest.

No, I don't agree. School shootings, and especially terrorist attacks, are orders of magnitude rarer than rapes in fraternity houses or by fraternity men.
I'd be willing to bet that most of us on GC are aware of one or more sexual assaults that occurred within the Greek system of our own campuses. I know survivors from my alma mater. In fact, it might be easier to count those of us who are not aware of any such events from our colleges. But the vast majority of us attended colleges where there has never been a school shooting. And that is true even though rapes can and do stay secret, and school shootings do not. We're talking about many thousands of rapes vs. dozens of school shootings at most.
