This is not just a problem with your organization - I know it is with mine, and I am sure with many others. This was part of the problem with the collegians messing up Ritual. They think the few of us who are always around are all about fun and games, yet when we call them on something they pout! The collegians I work with know not to mention (EVER) underage drinking, drinking at mixers (our campus is "dry"), and ANY kind of drugs. If they do any of the above then I feel responsible to take the matter to the board. Otherwise we WILL lose our charter. I've seen it happen to another NPC group on campus. If I were you, I would remind my sisters to cool it when ANY alum is around. When you become an alum, I assume you have an alum club or chapter, then discuss it at the meeting. Not the particular incident (no need for name calling), but rather to say that your constitution states.....and that you as alums have a responsibility to maintain that when you are at a function. Plus, what if something had happened to one of the collegians that night? That alum could have been held responsible by nationals for not taking action! (Also happened with the NPC who lost their charter). Anyway - sorry this is so long, but I'm right there with you. I am so glad to hear that you are taking your future role as an alum responsibly. I hope others can learn from you! Good Luck!
