I see no issue with wanting to put your best foot forward. I put on makeup for dates. I wear heels to interviews. I don't drink in letters.
I agree on her point that if you think you're fooling other folks on campus, you've got another think coming. Everybody knows you drink/smoke/whatever, and everyone knows you're a (insert group name here). So, be aware of that, and act accordingly.
But I see NO problem with not drinking when you're wearing letters, not swearing in front of your mom, and keeping your elbows off the table at grandma's. Some things are just respectful.

Excellent point! Your mom knows you swear, but it's just respectful not to curse like a sailor around her. People may know that you drink or smoke but it shows veneration to refrain from doing so in your letters. And unless you are Lindsay Lohan, not every single person on your campus and around your school knows what GLO you are in. However, if some random stranger sees you throwing back drinks in the club until you pass out and you're wearing ABC letters, they now think, geez, those ABCs are a bunch of alcoholics.
