Poll: How safe are fraternity parties?

MPR reporter Tim Post and I have covered the three recent sexual assault cases at the University of Minnesota fairly heavily, and now I’d like to hear from you:

Just how safe do you –or people you know — feel at fraternity parties?
Is the issue being overblown — or underreported?

Please click the link below and chime in. I’d love to hear from students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni — anyone who has been exposed to the fraternity scene or knows someone who has.

It’s a short questionnaire with no obligation, and I’ll post an overview of the results in a few days. It’ll also help guide our coverage here at MPR.

You can click here to fill in the survey.

Thanks, and I hope to hear from you.
