Summary Of Eliza Gray's Fraternity Row

Eliza Gray, in her article “Fraternity Row” increases the concern for women that becomes sexually assaulted on campus by fraternities. “Fraternity Row” by Eliza Gray describes the truth brought forth by many women that professes that they have been raped at the University of Virginia from a fraternity called “Phi Delta Theta.” In addition to this article, the main issue amongst fraternities are the rising cases of sexual assault that are happening on campus. In fact, Eliza gray uses several statistics to prove that fraternities are at fault for sexual misconduct. “Fraternity members are responsible for 28% of sexual assault in which victims are in capitated. Fraternity men are three times as likely to commit sexual assault. The Nation’s 800

college campuses are home to 6,093 fraternities.” Nevertheless, from Eliza Grays’ research frats sexual assault women when hosting or participating in campus parties in their frat house. Women become under the influence of alcohol, and fraternity men therefore starts the first step of sexual assault. Police and campus police were having a difficult time investigating each sexual assault case, because they could not follow protocol of searching someone’s house without a search warrant, and each house is protected by the fourth amendment. Most importantly, each woman deserves justice against sexual assault and the concern for each woman living on campus will continue to rise if fraternities are still eligible to continue their habits of sexual assault.
