COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- University of Missouri fraternities and sororities have put new limits on off-campus parties after two sexual assaults and a bus accident at a Boone County winery.
The new restrictions cap the allowed number of party guests at 700 and limit two Greek chapters to serve as party sponsors. Each sponsoring group must appoint "sober monitors" to track compliance with the rules.
The change comes after a 22-year-old student from Springfield was injured trying to stop a bus leaving Les Bourgeois Vineyards in Rocheport. Separately, two 18-year-old women reported being sexually assaulted in September in connection with late-night parties at the winery.
