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?

Yes, illegal use of the substance is considered abuse, as is binge drinking. I didn't say that everyone would be abusing alcohol, but that abuse would be occurring at any undergrad event. Their policy might be worded ambiguously but it lets them say "just don't drink in your letters."
