How sorority culture contributes to the campus rape problem

BIG feminism must co-opt popular ladies and groups or they will be shunned. It is in the nature of BIG feminism to attack those that do not "listen and believe" without question. Good finf OP.

I have to comment to provide some insight as a sorority alum at a Southern university.

There are fraternities at that campus who have spiked punches with roofies. One of my guy friends was drinking from the punch at a frat party only to get smacked by a fraternity man who told him: "The drinks are for GIRLS ONLY." He initially thought the frat was just being overeager to service women until he passed out and woke up to a doctor telling him he got roofied.

That fraternity is a top tier meaning there are men who come from rich, influential families. It's weird that they would feel the need to spike drinks but they have. That fraternity got in trouble because a lot of guys drank from it and passed out with the ladies.

The campus rape incidents are, to me, a real concern and I frankly think it affects everyone.

Lol, 40% of sorority members raped or assaulted? Reported maybe. Greek campus culture seems like some leftover zombie social movement in hand-tinted black and white from the early 20th century, slammed with the hookup culture in some messy remix that is full of fail, much as current education is full of fail.

Eric S. Raymond: The true meaning of moral panics

But there’s actually something a bit more puzzling about the campus-rape panic. College campuses are far from a threatening environment for feminists. Nowadays women outnumber men in every department outside STEM fields. At many colleges mandatory ‘sensitivity training’ heavily privileges female and feminist perspectives. By federal encouragement, female students can now accuse men of rape and expect the claim to be evaluated under circumstances that deny the man any right to due process and the presumption of innocence.

On campus, the Other seems so thoroughly controlled that some academics now attribute declining male enrollments to an unwillingness to enter a hostile work environment. What are women like Meg Lanker-Simmons really pushing against? What in their environment do they not already own?

I think the answer is…themselves. The increasing intensity level of the campus-rape panic seems well correlated with the erosion of college womens’ position in sexual bargaining.

The key concept here is hypergamy: womens’ wired-in desire to mate with men who are taller, smarter, richer, a little older, and higher-status than they are. Hypergamy is at the core of the human female mating strategy in exactly the way that seeking physical attractiveness (signs of fitness to bear) is at the center of male strategy.

An increasing number of hypergamically-aspiring college women are competing for a decreasing pool of higher-status male peers. The consequences are well documented; in the “hookup” culture that now pervades many campuses, sex has become a woman’s opening bid rather than a prize men must compete strenuously to attain.

"The solution is to change the nature of these all-women organizations so that they are about women – and so that they don’t repeatedly send girls into the arms of fraternity brothers in the first place."

Please explain to me how this attitude is conducive to mens rights.
