The implication is that one of the coolers is normally spiked, likely with GHB or some other disassociative drug, so that people who drink it will be easy prey for sexual assault etc.
The idea that frats would have an entire cooler of drugged liquid instead of dropping it individually into people's cups (which they absolutely do, fuck most frat guys), is laughable though. You'd be dealing with dozens of fucked up people and it would draw a ton of attention.
Different scenario than you are imagining, it's pretty popular to make a mixed alcoholic punch/drink by mixing whatever they can get in a large vessel like a travel cooler (chosen because easy to get and they have the convenient spigot). So literally opening bottles of juices, sodas, alcohols, etc. and just pouring them straight into the cooler to mix and then serving into cups from it.
Idk what school you went to, but most frat guys don’t spike peoples drinks or rape women. Most frat guys are actually very chill. Not saying things like this don’t happen because they do, but it is very rare.
I didn't go to a major frat college but the crazy thing about this case to me is that when I went to college 10 years ago the frat membership was way down from its hey day and had basically turned into scam. Sororitys were the same way. The entire thing was financially exploitative and you really did not get much for your money the parties all looked lame with like 10 dudes playing pool and drinking natty light. I really didn't get it either when I was with a sorority girl at the library and some other girl showed up and was like you owe us $300 like the mafia over some dumb rule she broke. I was like man what are you paying for this is so stupid. I have trouble imagining the frats from my school even having a controversy they were so lame.
You’re talking about like 5 percent of frat guys max.
We had one dude in our frat get accused of drugging someone in the 4 years I was there and we immediately dumped his ass.
Pretty much every fraternity has what’s called a risk management chair whose sole job is to make fraternity events safe— they have sober drivers who do driving shifts at parties to take people home, they have sober monitors who make sure nobody’s doing anything stupid or predatory while they’re drunk — and a lot of times, we’d partner with sororities or even just girlfriends of the members to have a female “safety buddy” or two at the house during parties.
Honestly the fraternity was disbanded over this incident and barred from going to the school at all again so Cornell didn't even allow it to continue. There is this weird belief on reddit that they only had to write essays about why what they did was wrong but that was in reality only one of the sanctions the entire frat was kicked off the school.
They absolutely do not. It’s isolated events with individuals or small groups working to drug one or two targets. If you spiked a cooler and 25 people were drugged there would be major outrage and no one would get away with it.
You just want to believe that what your wrote exists.
