I just had this conversation with a lawyer about Tennessee law. Of course, the best advice is to never drive unless you're sober. If you know you're going to blow above the limit, refuse the test and have them take you in. Then just before they book you, change your mind and take it. It may shave off enough points to let you pass. But I seriously hope everyone knows by now that driving drunk can hurt or kill someone, and I don't want that on my conscience!

I was going to point that out, too.

I'm not sure how it's enforced, but I'm pretty sure it is an automatic suspension in Colorado if you refuse to take the test.

UM....VA is like that, but it's not automatic. If you refuse and are found guilty, then your licence is suspended for at least a year, but it is harder to convict without a breathalyzer test.

The five fraternities at Purdue are no longer on suspension; however, each fraternity has a set of requirements to fulfil, according to the student paper:

Brief excerpts from article:
The international offices worked with the Office of the Dean of Students and Interfraternity Council members to decide the nature of the sanctions. . . .
Each of the five chapters is required to attend alcohol awareness workshops, co-sponsor alcohol education programming and update its risk awareness program.

Very simular, just local paper rather than campus paper.
