Well, that's the point. It isn't a student body of 17,000 students that's experiencing these complaints. It's a group of fraternity members consisting of 1600, give or take a hundred (the most recent stats I found on Clemson's IFC were from 2012). Some of those complaints involve multiple fraternities. And the university says that that is substantially above the usual number of complaints they receive in a similar time span.

And in my opinion, one sexual assault allegation is serious enough for the university to take some kind of action. Three in the span of "a few weeks" is beyond the pale and the suspension of activities would be justified on that basis alone.

According to this article, the hazing complaints that are currently being investigated/have recently been investigated involve every single one of the IFC fraternities.
