I really don't think they are referring to a gang rape in the verse with the sorority girl. It says she was a "perfect little sister... UNTIL", which implies that she damaged her own reputation. "Found her in the bushes with the boys in the band" doesn't sound like a rape at all. You wouldn't use that sort of "nudge nudge, wink wink" language to describe it if it were forced. She simply snuck off with them to have sex, because she is not at all the "perfect little sister" that everybody thinks she is.
Otherwise, this is a pretty lousy throw-away song. I remember when the album came out. There was no way it was going to be anything but a let-down after the meteoric success of "Hotel California", but The Long Run was even worse than a let-down. It sounds like a band who is burned out and putting out an album because they have to. And I have read a few interviews with Henley and Frey that indicate that is exactly what it was. I particularly remember hearing "The Greeks..." when I bought the record, and thinking it sounded like it needed more verses and some more melody or a solo or something, but they just didn't want to bother
[Edit: Added info about the band's state of mind when doing this album]
