The column was written by a fraternity brother who graduated from OU six years ago.
I'd just like to say that I find the headline "Fraternity men more likely to be rapists than other college men" to be very disappointing. I finished at Ohio University six years ago, and I am very proud to be a Bobcat and to have been a fraternity member as well. While the numbers regarding greek life support the headline in a technical manner, it is a very misleading headline.
To me it implies that being a rapist is a normal thing for fraternity members. This is a sad attempt at a Clickbait headline.
Though I understand wanting page views, trading that for the reputation of a huge group of young men is wildly irresponsible.

I believe statistically the president of the United States is the most dangerous job on earth (four out of 44, off the top of my head, have been assassinated).
This has data to back it up, but in reality the President of the United States is probably the single safest person on earth.
Toying with numbers can be fun and harmless in most cases. Implying that fraternity men are commonly rapists is not fun, and it is not harmless. OU and The Post are better than this.
