Honest to goodness, at my campus we weren't running around getting drunk in the 80s - or doing drugs - in my house. Some fraternities were known for their drunken shenanigans, but they were the exception, not the rule. The drinking age was 19 at the time - we drank, but not to excess. And in all the formals I attended as both an active and as an advisor, I can think of only 2 - 3 cases where girls or their dates had to be "talked to". I'd like to think these recent cases are also the exception, not the rule; hope everyone is paying attention and taking note.

Because here's the deal: You may think "Well, thank goodness it's not OUR group" or "Woo-hoo! We can take advantage of the misfortune of others", but to John and Joan Q. Public there is no difference - all the Greek letters sound alike to them and IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN YOUR GROUP. Several sororities on probation are going to turn off potential new members, which ends up hurting ALL the sororities. The bad behavior of one group reflects on ALL Greeks - it hurts us all, and it behooves us to make sure actives understand this type of behavior is UNACCEPTABLE and why.
