Miami University Pi Beta Phi Suspended

I preface this by saying that the sorority members and their dates should take responsibility for their actions and should be punished by both the school and their national organizations.

However, it seems like its like the administration knew for a few years that these formals were getting out of hand and chose to do nothing about it/turn the other cheek. Only when they are faced with a media crisis, do they choose to dole out punishments. I think the administration should take some responsibility in this too.

I also think the "dates" need to be held accountable. Even a sober sorority can't control her drunnk date in relieving himself in an inappropriate place. The "dates" need to be held accountable by the school, or even their organization.

Unfortunately, the dates get to hide behind the anonymous wall of random date status. The girls would be unlikely to rat them out either.

If it's the girls who are 'hiding' them, well then they get to take all of the responsibility anyway. They don't have anyone to blame but themselves for that.

I agree, college age girls aren't always the smartest.
