Kelderman, Eric. "Why Don't Colleges Do More to Rein In Frats?" The Chronicle of Higher

Education [Washington, D.C] 3 Apr. 2015: A4. Print.
(3) Summary
This newspaper article highlights what college administration is doing to prevent/abolish any more accidental deaths caused by drinking that usually happens within fraternity households. They believe that putting social bans or shutting fraternities down all together will stop the drinking. The article also gives insight to the reader that most fraternity's nationals leave them with no insurance since they are breaking specific guidelines, even though many of these fraternities do not know this information, leading to another whirlwind of problems for Greek life.
(4) Author
Eric Kelderman- He is a staff reporter at the newspaper this article came from. He specializes in writing about legal issues and state policy. Being that this article was about laws and liability when it comes to deaths and injuries within an organization, he must be a very knowledgeable source in discussing my issue. 
(5) Key Term
Liability- This term is essential to understand this article.Whether it be the National Greek Organization taking liability for an incident that happen in a fraternity house, or it be the college administration taking the blame for what happen. Both administrations do not want to take the blame; however, they do not want to have bad press anymore, so they take action instead of liability.
There are not many terms that need to be defined in understanding this article and relating it to my paper, since I already used the other articles to define big key terms.
(6) Quotes
"local chapters to follow an extensive set of rules under risk-management policies that bar activity like the use of illegal drugs or the provision of alcohol to minors. Individual chapters must also purchase insurance through a company established by the fraternities and paid for by member dues" (Kelderman A4)
"some colleges have moved to close fraternities, suspend or expel student offenders, and — in cases of alleged criminal activity — open their own investigations" (Kelderman A4).
"National associations of Greek organizations say their key role is to provide "ongoing education and advice" to their local chapters, which are "self-governing and independent student organizations." And they act quickly to enforce their policies, primarily by closing or suspending individual chapters, according to an email from representatives of the National Panhellenic Council and the North-American Interfraternity Conference" (Kelderman A4)
"Put simply, it is a mistake for institutions to simply assume that they are under a legal duty to corral rowdy fraternities," he wrote. "To the contrary, there may be instances that such a duty is created solely by efforts to rein these organizations in" (Kelderman A4)
(7) Value
This article is essential to my paper. Not only does it address the problem, linking fraternities and horrendous accidents that happened after a night of binge drinking, it shows what college administration are doing in regards to this issue. I plan to prove this method wrong, presenting an alternative to their solution. It gives the reader information on what is already being done, proving once again there is a serious problem with binge drinking and fraternities.
