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

Some sororities are sometimes partnered to a frat and encourage sex with members of that frat. Sometimes its a requirement to get in.

Excuse me, what the heck?

Why would anyone join? And how does this not become a national scandal and get shut down?

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.
