In our handbook, "Themes for Brotherhood", it says that we're allowed to have official fraternity events that serve alcohol as long as everyone drinking is of age. It is the individual chapter's responsibility to conduct an ID check. The handbook says that we are obligated to prevent drunk brothers from driving and must accomadate them overnight if necessary. It doesn't say anything in the handbook about not being allowed to drink in letters. In fact, at the last National Assembly in Dallas there were many brothers who did in fact drink with their letters. Individual chapters may oppose this but there is nothing against it nationally. In my chapter we do not drink with our pins but are allowed to drink in letters if you're of age. Other GLOs around campus can often be spotted wearing their letters at the bars near campus. It varies between schools and I think that it all depends on chapter case by case basis.
