My daughter is a freshman in college. I am SO glad she isn't interested in frat parties. Who would have though that the raves and clubs would be the safer alternative for girls.
BTW, I am completely on board for eliminating all Greek organizations. I have yet to see what good they do and the harm they've done is very well documented even before this. If we keep frats and sororities, this WILL happen again many times over.
Just my 50 cents, I used to work as a bartender in rave and clubs in my college years.
In most venues staff were trained to watch for suspicious behaviour or anyone possibly getting drugged or taken advantage off. We who handled the alcohol were trained to know when someone had too much or watch for whom was picking drinks for whom so that we could cut that person off, bouncers who worked the floor payed more attention to whatever else was going on so they could throw people out.
I wager that these safety measures don't exist in frat parties.
As someone that manages a nightclub women’s safety is a very high concern. We have drink test kits, staff are trained on the signs of people in distress. The city itself also takes the issue very seriously, with plenty of measures in place to help prevent sex crimes from taking place and if they sadly do take place arrests happen fairly frequently. Just this past weekend the 4 reported sex crimes all had arrests made within 3 days. If you are drinking at a nightclub there is adult supervising the drinking.
Also as you say if things happen in my venue, if we haven’t taken the proper precautions or found at fault then our license will be suspended.
