Spring Rush at the University of Virginia-Before it was discredited, a coed’s sensational story alleging gang rape at the University of Virginia prompted the university’s president, Teresa Sullivan, to suspend fraternity and sorority activities on campus so that underlying problems of frat-house excesses could be addressed. The result, announced Tuesday, is an encouraging and realistic agreement by student and university leaders to crack down on the sort of binge drinking and partying abuses that have given frat-house behavior a notorious reputation on campuses across the nation.

UVA Reveals Strict New Rules On Fraternity Parties
The University of Virginia unveiled strict new rules for fraternity parties Tuesday as it lifted the suspension on Greek social life imposed after a controversial Rolling Stone article in November.
The new rules, including a requirement that a sober fraternity member monitor bedrooms during parties, attempt to reform social life at the Charlottesville campus following a Rolling Stone article that described
an alleged gang rape in a bedroom at Phi Kappa Psi. The article has
since come under fire for inconsistencies.
The new party policy is outlined in an
addendum to the university's Fraternal Organization Agreement,
which must be signed annually by each Greek life organization. The agreement spells out rules all 61 fraternities and sororities must obey in order to remain officially recognized by UVA.
