STR: Alcohol, Rape, Fraternities, suspensions, and investigations into 86 colleges
I don't know if the U of M is subjected to the investigation, but two major colleges have suspended all frat activity due to apparent and appalling abuse (to put it very mildly)

"The University of Virginia is suspending all fraternal organizations until January after a magazine article described in detail an alleged sexual assault that occurred on the campus, the school said on Saturday.

All fraternal organizations and associated social activities will shut down until Jan. 9...

According to Rolling Stone, the University of Virginia is one of the 86 schools under federal investigation for its handling of sexual assaults. It is also one of 12 schools under a compliance review by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, the magazine said.

A Rape on Campus (Rolling Stone):

"Two years later, Jackie, now a third-year, is worried about what might happen to her once this article comes out. Greek life is huge at UVA, with nearly one-third of undergrads belonging to a fraternity or sorority, so Jackie fears the backlash could be big – a "shitshow" predicted by her now-former friend Randall, who, citing his loyalty to his own frat, declined to be interviewed. But her concerns go beyond taking on her alleged assailants and their fraternity. Lots of people have discouraged her from sharing her story, Jackie tells me with a pained look, including the trusted UVA dean to whom Jackie reported her gang-rape allegations more than a year ago. On this deeply loyal campus, even some of Jackie's closest friends see her going public as tantamount to betrayal.

Rolling Stone reader reaction

(WVU suspends frats and sororities):

"West Virginia University has suspended social and pledging activities at its campus-affiliated fraternities and sororities following two recent incidents.

A lot of kids running around with really poor character, and that includes a lot of these girls. I hope they do look into the U of M. There was some shady stuff going on when I was there, I'm sure it hasn't disappeared.
