If I was not allowed to drink and live how I wanted in that one building, I would have moved into an apartment. That in turn would have hurt the ability of my chapter to have a house and to have the money to function.
Alcohol is part of being social. In any adult social function there is going to be alcohol. If not...well, it's probably not worth going to anyway.

Well, then I am going to say this: I think you joined Beta for the wrong reasons, and I think you rely too much on alcohol.
I am not against drinking, I drank a lot in college, in fact, they thought I was an alcoholic... AND hell, I'm o.k. with minors drinking a little.
However, I think that does not need to be done in the chapter. The house represents the fraternity and the chapter. Having fun there is great, but if you recruit with the representation that Betas just sit around and drink, well, then you are just going to get drunks who want to party all the time. There is a time to drink, and a time to party, but there is a lot of work that needs to be done otherwise in a fraternity too.
