I know I have posted on this before but the "drinking in letters = sin" thing has not always existed. While I was in school we had chapter consultants and province directors see us go to bars and fraternity parties in our letters, and they never said boo. I think what motivated this policy more than "respect" was schools cracking down on alcohol, especially its association w/ Greek life. IMO if it's a sin to do it in letters, you shouldn't do it at all, and at small schools, everyone knows you are an XYZ letters or not.

As far as the drunken advisor visit, that depends on the advisor's age and what kind of relationship they have with her. If she's fairly young, it might not faze her, and I know if I was that advisor I'd rather they came in to settle down a little rather than be out on the streets with all the New Year's Eve nuts. But if the advisor's a 70 year old grandma, that visit would definitely be over the top.

And there is a big difference between working at nationals and being a national officer. We have a guy, a couple independents and members of other sororities working at ASA's HQ - should I consider them a "representative" of us? Of course not. I would have liked to have heard this girl's actual conversation with her coworkers, since it sounds somewhat taken out of context - just to impress her sisters with how outrageous she was being.
