For Pete's Sake. You joined the sorority chapter. This is a rule at the chapter. If you don't like it, there's the door. There's no fundamental right to post photos of yourself with alcohol on the internet. Period.

No one is trying to deny anyone's legal right to drink or to take photos. But everything that you post on the internet has the potential to become public, even if you keep your profile on private.

You know how during recruitment you want your sorority to be seen as the best and most desirable? This ties into all of that. We want to have a clean-cut image. By passing and enforcing this rule, your sorority is attempting to take part in a larger public relations and image building campaign to show its community, its members, its members parents and others that sorority women are not a bunch of drunken slobs, contrary to media stereotypes.

If you don't like the rule, try to change it through the proper channels OR get out of the sorority. I don't see this rule being changed even if it comes up for a vote. Back in my day, we didn't have Facebook or MySpace and we still had rules that you couldn't have photos of members with alcohol. You never knew who could get their hands on them and make snap judgments about your sorority.
