We are not a dry fraternity.
Our Risk Management Policies state that alcohol shall not be used in conjuction with rush and/or pledge education events, and that alcohol use shall also be within the guidelines of local, state, and institutional policy.
As for Convention, there are standing rules passed by the delegates before the legislative session begins. Basically, those rules, as they relate to alcohol, mean that no alcohol shall be consumed as part of the official/scheduled events of the Convention. In other words, the standing rules say that a delegate can't bring a thermos full of bloody marys on the floor. However, it is well known that much drinking occurs in rooms and in this year's case, on the streets during Convention.
Individual chapters may be dry, but as a whole, we are not a dry fraternity.
