On Friday September 12th, it was probably, what seemed like, a normal party at another fraternity house for many college students. But at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee that wasn't the case. Members of the fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon house were having a party, which seemed normal, until three women an a man were hospitalized for, at first, unknown reasons. These people that were hospitalized suspected that their drinks had been tampered with and that someone might have dropped "date rape" drug into them which caused them to feel weird and black out. Police have started to investigate these allegations of "date rape" being used at the party. one of the students who was hospitalized said that " she had a weird feeling and sensation prior to blacking out which she had never felt before. [The student] stated she feels victimized by TKE and that she is sure some sort of drug or other intoxicant was given to her against her will and unbeknownst to her." Some students even said that TKE had a reputation for putting "Roofies" into women's drinks. "Roofies" is a street name given to the drug, Rohypnol, which is tasteless and completely odorless.

Flunitrazepam or "roofies" are currently illegal in American but thats not stopping people from getting a hold of it. I don't know if we need tighter security on drugs made in labs or what but events like these certainly aren't okay.

This is only one case, just imagine all the other colleges this happens at. Not only should this stop, but also people have to aware of the potential dangers that can come in these environments.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a rare case, awareness is the first step in solving some of the issues.
ReplyDeleteEvents like these open up people's eyes (like mine) to always be cautious and aware of your surroundings.
