Knowing that we all agree that there will probably never be a "totally" dry house (someone's gonna have a bottle in his/her room), some chapters that have gone "dry" to the extent of no alcohol at parties in the chapter house and no alcohol in common areas, report increases in size of the chapter, better recruitment, a more plesant living experience and much less damage to facilities.
There are also some who report numbers going down.
I suspect it depends on the culture of your particular chapter and campus.
ETA, remember that a "dry house" doesn't mean that the chapter can't have alcohol at parties, it just means that those "official" parties are held at a third party vendor. Of course some chapters will have parties at a brothers house or apartment, but that pretty well negates the lessening of liability.
