OK, I have to weigh in on this one. At my univ. a chapter of a fraternity was closed due to alcohol issues. A pledge died from having 16 drinks in one evening.
All sororites on my campus were dry. If you were in a housed sorority and lived in the house, you were not permitted to have alcohol even if you were of legal drinking age. In any event you would not wear letters and drink at the same time. Alcohol awareness was part of every sorority's new member education program. The same was true of some fraternities - and in this respect, Greek life does good.
Alcohol is ok in moderation - you just have to take care, and not overdrink.
