CJ Lang Core 101-31 Are fraternities really that bad? When people think of fraternity members‚ they usually think of immature guys that just get together and party all the time.

The first main sociological question in the "Fraternities and Rape on Campus" study performed by Patricia Yancey Martin and Robert A. Hummer was‚ "What characteristics do fraternities have that make them prone to objectification of women and more likely to commit gang rape on college campuses and why fraternities encourage the sexual coercion of women.
