A couple of random thoughts:
NPC rules state that all chapter houses be dry. Apparently there is talk of a resolution that would require any housing with 2 or more members of a chapter living there would have to be dry as well. This is ridiculous, for obvious reasons.
I am worried about dry frats because if guys do not want to live in the chapter houses, they are going to lose them. I am not saying alcohol is the only reason to live in your house, but it is more an issue of freedom. If you are 21 years old, and can not have alcohol in your room, I understand why that would be upsetting.
On our campus, many men pledge as sophomores or juniors. That means they live in the chapter house as juniors or seniors. It is a lot harder to tell a guy who has had his own apartment that he has all these rules, even if you could tell it to some sophomore who had just been living in the dorms.
