I've been on both sides.

My younger years, I drank at the parties. We were not allowed to drink at mixers. I had fun.

Then I had that one night where you puke, have your first hangover, and say you'll never do it again. (hey, it was my birthday and I didn't even drink that much) I would drink a minimal amount or not at all. I'd play drinking games with a 20oz Coke. The best part is that there was always a sober sister around to drive or watch after the others who may be partying a little too hard, and I'm glad I was that sister even if people resented me for it.

My advice? DO NOT skip out on the social aspects. It's part of being in a sorority and how you learn networking and communication skills.
