Yeah -- we were on a strict NO ALCOHOL rule for Bid Night, but Tear Night (the next night, after the sobriety pledge had expired; the night the boys get fraternity bids) was another story entirely. We never ever ever forced our new members to drink anything (we always had a good number of girls who didn't drink anyway). There were a lot "Okay, DRINK! ...If you want to. But you don't have to..." We had sober rides always. A lot of water around, and sophomore member assigned to the new members. But there were always girls who ended up in the health center anyway because they wanted to DRINK and they found the upperclassmen who wanted to DRINK as well. It wasn't hazing. It was 18-year-old new members being 18-year-old girls. We tried to keep them safe, and I don't think anyone ever actually had anything close to a .4, but on a hard drinking campus, shit happens.
