^^^^ Absolutely agree. Self-injury is a personality disorder and is sometimes considered an impulse-control behavior problem. Most frequently sufferers do it because they are numb and want to feel pain. Alcohol only makes things worse.

The chapter needs to encourage their brother to get help. Many behavioral disorders, particularly in males, come out in the late teens and early twenties.

Maybe the fraternity can do it subtly by having a social worker speak to the chapter on mood and behavioral disorders (avoid the word "mental"). They could do it as a risk management program.
