The fact that women have relied on the men's groups for years to provide social spaces and opportunities cuts both ways. We've used them so we didn't have to be grownups or liberated women and take liability, now we want to put all the blame on them? I'm sorry, but this kind of crap is why the male/female divide in this country is not closing, is in fact getting larger in the younger generations.

33girl - Thank you for saying this.
To share some of the responsibility, some fraternities and/or IFC's are 'pushing back' (for lack of a better phrase) and requiring that only sororities willing to be a co-sponsor for a party/mixer/exchange may be invited
*onto* house property for said event.
In other words, while mixers may be held at the fraternity house (because they can have alcohol etc.) only those sororities that sign on as a co-host, and accept joint responsibility, will be (can be?) invited. All this within the guidelines of campus rules and the fraternity's HQ of course.
Note: I would imagine these chapters can still have the random 'house party' where there is a guest list with third party vendors etc.
