Fraternities and Drinking

For John, BLUF:  Playing adults without being adults.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Over at Bloomberg is a Virginia Postrel post on the short-lived Forbes column by Mr Bill Frezza, “Drunk Female Guests Are The Gravest Threat To Fraternities”.  As Ms Postrel points out in her post, "Frat Boys, Drunken Girls and Paternalism", Mr Frezze's big sin was suggesting that already over-served women were a threat to Fraternities and a minefield of potential problems, and should be turned away.  This was judged by the bien-pensant to be a case of blaming the victim before the victim becomes a victim and thus unacceptable.♠

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
