Survey finds Penn State sororities, fraternities drink more

The only statistic that scares me out of this entire article is this one.

Obviously, if 80 percent of nongreeks are drinking, then drinking is not just a "Greek problem." The statistics might be a little disturbing if 20 percent of nongreeks were drinking as opposed to 95 percent of greeks, but this doesn't strike me as surprising at all. It makes sense that those who are more likely to drink would be more attracted to the social oppotunities that fraternities and sororities bring.

However, the unprotected sex stats freak me out. How can they be so stupid? NINETEEN percent? Ten percent is scary enough, but when Greeks manage to double the rate, that's really bad.
