Coastal Carolina studies alcohol problems on campus

Two Pikes in the hospital in alcohol induced comas and what does the school do?
Coastal Carolina University is looking into a fraternity party that left two students in the hospital with alcohol poisoning.

Alcohol is not allowed on campus and students caught with it have to attend an education program, university spokeswoman Anne Monk said.
And what do the fraternities think of this?
We're all under a microscope," said Matt Molzan, the head pledge educator for Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. "It's having severe implications on every single chapter present at the university, especially ... because this feeds the stereotypes that we are all party animals."

Robbie Clifton, president of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, called the incident unfortunate. "I don't think it's more of a problem here than any other college campus," he said.
Is it just me, or are both the school and the fraternities taking an overly cavalier attitude here?
