I don't really understand this war on alcohol.
Drinking is a fact of life. There are many social situations that are critical to your success in life that will have alcohol. You need to be able to control yourself.
A fraternity needs all types of people. Guys that party, guys that are academically oriented, guys that play sports, politics, etc. A good fraternity is one that has a mixture of brothers with those traits.
Dry rush is basically not allowing you to guage how a person acts or reacts in a social setting with alcohol. Some people do a total 180 when they drink. I think that is important to know.
Additionally, if it is a mixed rush system (some wet and some dry houses) the dry houses are at a real disadvantage. A lot of good solid guys are not going to even check out the dry houses because it gives the wrong impression. "These guys don't party, not social, etc etc".
Some freshman are probably going to think that the dry houses are service fraternities or something.
I really don't see any advantages.
