According to my ACLU "friends", if this is the definition, Beta National has to go after every state, county, store, bar and store that sells alcohol because it "is available" for consumption. My local ACLU would settle for two options:
remove all liquor within 300 miles of a chapater or close all chapters within 300 miles of liquor.
Be advised that I am not part of the ACLU, but I have good lawyer friends who are good lawyer friends who are not.
Personally, I say punish each violator under the civil/criminal code. Pledges are booted, actives are made alumni and out of the house, those actives that acted by doing nothing pay $1000.00 each to the Beta fund of choice,
and the house is under dialy scrutiny by a Beta Alum who lives in the house. I am unemployed, I'll do it.
