If you can say that underage drinking = alcohol abuse, maybe yes.

If you're saying that any time there's an event with undergrads and alcohol everyone's using alcohol in an unsafe manner, no.

My point is that the way the policy is worded is really ambiguous and can get twisted around either way, either to save a chapter's ass or to bust them for things that they aren't necessarily doing. If you don't want people to wear letters to fraternity parties, your policy should say "don't wear letters to fraternity parties." Why is that so hard?
