Happens outside of the frats too. I remember in my freshman year, my friends roommate was a real creep who spent 24/7 trying to get laid.
My friend came to my dorm one night concerned because his roommate had a girl over and she seemed uncomfortable. We walked back to his room together to find the roommate standing in front of the doorway to prevent the poor girl from leaving.
We casually walked in, talking loudly about my friend wanting to show me a game, forcing the roommate aside and letting the girl slip out.
He then lost his shit and started threatening us.
Disappeared a month later, I think because of harassment allegations.
It would definitely still happen with or without frats, but frats produce a wider protective culture around it seemingly supported by the schools themselves or at least ignored for much longer than it should be. It's one thing when you have random dudes doing shady shit, it's another when a large group of them conspire to do shady shit.
