The purpose of probation is to improve on previous poor behavior and to prove that you can follow the rules (or at least effectively hide the breaking of such rules better than you did previously.) Apparently, as smart as all of you think you are, you just aren't smart enough to play the game. If you think this is rough, wait til you get out into the real world. Employers don't listen to your type of arguments anymore than Fraternity HQs or University Administrations do.
BTW, what is your definition of "Moderate" drinking? Just wondering what you think would be the cause of taking a person to the hospital other than alcohol poisoning when he has been "moderately" drinking? I don't buy the "he has a medical condition" BS...moderately drinking is equivalent of binge drinking and leads to alcohol poisoning. How do you know what a person can or cannot handle?

Haha, yeah, okay. I graduated from a school (not Cornell, and not Kappa Sigma) over 20 years ago. I have no more personal stake in this than you do. The fact is, you didn't refute any of my points. I argued that yes, in practicalities, they broke the rules. And employers make you follow their rules as well, unless of course, you are such a superstar that you can demand things be done your way.
But when we're discussing normative values; that is, what should be, not what is, coming back with a response as to what is does not really address my argument.
