<h1>1: Freshmen rushing fraternities or sororities, even BEFORE they start their first class, should be banned across the board for ALL colleges.</h1>
<h1>2: Mandatory training of all fraternity and sorority officers should include gender and race sensitivity training, as well as alcohol and drug education.</h1>
<h1>3: Before a student is allowed to join, they MUST sign a pledge with the university that they will not abuse alcohol or drugs, or engage in sexual harassment or assault.</h1>
<p>You may ask whether #2 and #3 matter. Thing is, the more the university has on a piece of paper that the fraternities and sororities knew what the rules were, then if they are broken there are signatures and action can be taken.</p>
<p>As for #1, when I was an undergrad they changed rushing from end of freshman year to beginning of sophomore year for pledging. No rushing before the first day of classes sophomore year. Greatly decreased the potential for abuse of kids barely out of the house by frats and sororities.</p>
