Just an observation here, as it regards this issue and the call to change drinking age limits. Speaking as an outsider, as it regards "Greeks," to my knowledge, specifically alcohol-related deaths in NPHC groups are neglible or non-existent. The perception among many black Greeks is that white Greek organizations are "drinking clubs," among other things. This is a stereotype but there must be some grain of truth to this assertion. I say this not so much to cast aspersions but to highlight that there must be a "cultural" phenomenon here, just as hazing deaths and the "culture of hazing" is the biggest risk management problem amongst NPHC groups. Is this a wrong-headed assumption?
