Fraternities recently shut down or suspended: Of course, the fraternities nearly always deny the allegations against them, but the trend of increased accusations has become troublesome, if not downright scary. In 2015, a North Carolina State University woman accused Alpha Tau Omega fraternity members of drug sales and sexual assault. At UNC-Charlotte in May 2018, a woman was killed after falling from a bus during a party hosted by Kappa Sigma Fraternity. Just over the past year, ECU has shut down five fraternities, and that school is not alone. It may be, but you must be careful and check behind the fraternity’s rhetoric. Please do not assume that any fraternity is safe. The mugshots of the arrested men – who bear seemingly innocuous names like Grant, Jordan, and Nolan – reveal a preppy, well-groomed crowd easily mistaken for southern gentlemen. Xanax has also been cited as a date rape drug. Xanax, a benzodiazepine, treats anxiety and panic disorders but is often abused to the point of causing overdoses. Just this spring at East Carolina University, Phi Kappa Tau members were arrested on weapons and drug charges, based on allegations of having guns and guns and a shocking 2,500 Xanax bars. Heads up fraternity brother – you’re on candid camera. While stories of hazing and excessive drinking have become commonplace, the recent arrests expose much more sinister behavior – perhaps even designed to endanger women. The arrests expose a potentially dangerous environment for female college students, many of whom are unaware of the hazards lurking behind those doors.
Some colleges can be a place where common risks range from overdosing on drugs or alcohol to physical threats such as sexual assault or date rape - especially for those involved in Greek life. Over the past year, shocking numbers of fraternity members have been arrested on drug, alcohol, and weapons charges – some so serious and pervasive as to cause the fraternity houses to shut down entirely.
