I plan to do the same with my boys (5 and 6) - and also include what I think are behaviors which demonstrate respect for themselves, and for the young women they will someday date. I hope they will be fraternity men, and I hope they will treat all women as well as they would want men to treat their sisters. "Boys will be boys" just won't cut it.

ITA, and I also like your idea of having sororities tell their new pledges NOT to go upstairs...very wise advice.
College is such a huge adjustment in terms of learning how to live independently. I honestly think that the freshmen coming in (especially the girls) could benefit from better organized advice about how they can have fun but stay safe as well.
As for the girl in this story...exactly how drunk was she not to notice the big lump in the other bed? What did she think it was...a pile of dirty laundry? Yeesh!
