As someone from northern California, I do have to say: wow, viewpoints on weed do differ between regions.
Here, you can actually get weed "legally." All you need to do is apply for a medical marijuana card, and you can get that for almost any reason that translates to "I like weed." I have some friends who got it simply for "stress" -- hopefully, everyone here has taken a midterm at some point.
I guess like every organization sees it differently, but how mines sees it, at least, is that it's a risk management issue. If you're caught with a joint at a chapter in Texas, that's grounds for expulsion. However, here, you don't even need to bother hiding it when the chapter consultant comes.
As for tests: a good portion of jobs available don't do drug tests. Personally speaking, regardless of whether or not I actually use any drugs, I'll comfortably refuse any one that requires testing. Luckily, I haven't actually applied anywhere that tests.
That said, even here, having a shirt that says "POT" is as bad as having one that says B Sigma Sigma R. You really don't want to be seen in public with one, and you definitely don't want to represent it as something related to Greek life.
