I just think a dry policy is stupid. I mean look at Prohibition... lasted 15 years, and it took 53 years (1865 - 1918) to get the amendment passed. CT and RI were the only 2 states that never ratified it, probably for good reason. I dont drink, but if I did why the hell would I waste my time going to a bar when I can throw a few back at my house. I own a house that is rented out by fraternity guys who belong to a dry fraternity, and I allow them to drink there because I own the house and not the fraternity. If a dry frat wants to impose its policies on my house, they better be paying my utilities and my mortgage.

I don't like it too much either, since sometimes after a long day I just wanna crack open a cold one, but I cant, and I either have to go to a bar or a friends house and sometimes I just dont feel like going out. But thats just my 2 cents.

Your house follows it?

I haven't ran into many Phi Delt houses (if any) that do.

My house isnt a chapter house, thats how I get away with the rules that only I make. It cant be a frat house because of town ordinances. If it were my homeowners insurance would go through the roof. Its like $900 now a year, as a chapter house the zoning would change and my insurance could be as high as $8000 a year. My insurance wouldnt cover me anyways considering they dont insure chapter houses in my county.
