read and reread what psychtau wrote. it is good advice. whether your fraternity is being encouraged by your national organization or by your campus administration doesn't really matter. our fraternities and sororities are on campuses at the pleasure of the administration-if they are the ones suggesting that you try some dry events and lessen your chapters liability risk then you should. they could ban you from campus anytime they want.

if your national organization is making the suggestion, again, you should comply. you are a member of whatever fraternity you are at your national's pleasure. slip up, don't follow rules and your charter can be pulled. your liability is , in essence, your local advisors liability and the national organizations and its officers,too. a lawsuit can go up the chain of command. don't think that it can't.

ask some of the girls you pal around with for "dry event" ideas. poll the sororities on what kind of non-alcoholic socials they would like to have with your group. give a prize for the most creative and successful idea. fun can be had without alcohol. be the campus trendsetters,
