We've seen it all before. At my alma matter, Franklin & Marshall College, 1200 male students supported 11 fraternities when I was there in the sixties. In the seventies the college withdrew recognition. What happened? The frats went underground. Eventually the school woke up and realized that it had lost any and all control it ever had on the frats and so brought them back from above ground.
The "sexual assault" hysteria will subside. Heck, it may even do some good. Some frat houses will close. And then, because the Greeks still play a role in student recruitment and retention, as well as alumni loyalty, they will rise --- Phoenix like --- yet again. Count on it.
