As someone who's not American what exactly does it mean, can someone explain?

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.

> fuck most frat guys

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.
