I legitimately don't know what Fraternity is and why it's normal in America and why these dudes are standing like this.

Well its never a national rule so its always localized to the specific chapter when one becomes a scandal. But also Greek life is heavily institutionalized within most college systems and there are powerful alumni. Every school have a long reputation of trying to make sex scandals go away as quickly and quietly as possible.

But also that requirement is usually presented as a challenge to the prospect to accomplish on their own. To prove you're the right type of hot to be in our clique etc. Many young women will volunteer for this.

There's also the fact that it seems like a lot of frats (at least by me) completely own their houses and have almost no ties to the schools, it's like they have hardly any oversight. When a pledge dies (usually from alcohol) they may do something like trying to ban students from joining but they pretty much always let them back in after a few years
