If you search you will find past, similar, incidents at other well respected institutions. It is a good thing to analyze each school’s response to the incident and steer your D to schools with policies that you agree with.
While doing college search with my D, I definitely researched party reputation and reports of pressure to drink. I looked at nonofficial videos posted online. I used many and varied sources to try to get a feel for the school’s culture. D applied only to no Greek or low Greek schools. My D was fine with me making the first cut for colleges to apply to.
She is very happy where she ended up and has a group of friends who do not use drugs or alcohol. She has seen drunk students and was very happy to witness bystander intervention. I specifically asked if she has experienced drunks puking in the bathroom, since it is directly across the hall from her room and I read many reports of that being a problem at many schools, and she said No.
She is someone with no need to impress anybody, she is very clearheaded, and she is quite happy to play games for fun. I was less worried about her binge drinking than her having to deal with the effects of others’ drinking.
