I agree DA, and used to think it was ll our fault often, but then I came across this quote and its so true... (I think I posted this here before)

"Schools hold Greek organizations to a higher standard than other clubs on campus when it comes to alcohol. If someone gets really sick from alcohol and they're in a fraternity, every one of their brothers gets punished, even if the guy got sick half way across the world. Does this happen in any other campus organization? "A young man was rushed to the hospital after consuming five times the legal limit of alcohol. In response, the University has suspended the charter of his weightlifting group, shut down the sixth floor of the freshman dorm, and barred anyone from becoming a bio major again."
