I am all for dry rush-rest assured. Bottom line here is the problem: There is a "rule" that does not allow our fraternity to have alcohol in any common areas the first 2 weeks of school. Thousands of freshmen and a lot of other much less desireable people show up the first two weeks on our front door steps expecting to party. So not only do we have to worry about our own house not drinking, but the rest of the campus. So umm it's a pretty sure bet the houses on our fraternity row will have kids drinking in common areas short of calling the national guard in to defend our lawns. It only takes 1 person to report this through a quick email and were on probation with IFC and a nasty letter is sent to our national chapter. Pretty much every house on the row will be at their mercy. There's no differentiation between wet rush and having alcohol. I consider wet rush giving booze to a guy that has either a) been to a rush event b) expressed interest in rushing c) is a guy we would want to rush. Wet rush to our IFC is having a beer poster in our room in front of anyone not in our house.
As for my langauge, you're all right! the colorful langauge ussually stays out of anything formal.
Asking the greek advisor questions seems like a poor idea to me-lthe email i spoke of had little inflammatory conversation (as far as i am concerned) and like i said, the email was forwarded to his national chapter along with the rest of us on IFC. If anything hte greek advisor was the one being a dick.
As for starting my own IFC, i don't know how i could go about doing this-If my house isn't apart of our colleges IFC, it will lose its charter. It's a pretty brilliant idea, but I think only 3-4 houses would be willing to go for an idea that radical.
As for NIC-we have no formal rush-IFC canceled it at the last minute this summer because it would be unfair to some houses-fromal rush was apparently the reason for making the first two weeks dry.
