"Where applicable" is key to this discussion. If you joined a chapter that is substance free (either by choice or by re-org rules), then you should not blame anyone other than yourself.
It's kinda like buying an SUV. You love it, it looks great, rides great, has a sweet stereo system and rims, and then that person complains about bad gas mileage. Well, that just comes with the territory.
These are things you guys can change. Go to convention, lobby the other Chapter presidents - start this venture 6 months before Convention so you can make some headway. Make change. That's what's great about Beta, we govern ourselves (as much as you guys think we don't). Rules in place today are there for a reason, not for fun.
I'll never forget when I was chapter counselor and I was woke up at 2:00 AM by my chapters Risk Manager during their Beta Week, he stated that a pledge got 'cleaner in his eyes' and needed to seek help. I immediately went over to the house and found a big Gatorade cooler filled with Captain and Coke and a bunch of drunk idiot 19 year old kids.
Don't tell me alcohol in chapter houses 'is a good thing'.
If you guys hate Beta so much, why continue with it?
