I definately agree.
There are a lot of level-headed Greeks here on GC, however, there are also thousands of other Greeks out there, and the sad fact is that not everyone thinks about these kinds of things when they are doing things that end up being risk mis-management issues.
Without saying this too weirdly, not everyone joins GLO's for the right reasons.
When my boyfriend and I made a road-trip to my first university (his alma mater, and also home to his fraternity chapter) I met several new guys whose primary reason to join a fraternity was to party party party.. and it's people like that that end up causing problems, although maybe not intentionally. Thankfully though, in that chapter the brothers are VERY good at being brothers. There are always sober people (read: more than one) who make sure no one leaves home drunk even if they just had one sip.
Ok, I'm ranting now, but my point is, not everyone stops to think of what the consequences might be of their actions (driving drunk, etc.) - whether it be on themselves, other people, their own chapter, their own inter/national organization, or even if there will be consequences that will effect everyone's organizations.
It probably sounds real grandma-ish ... but that's just the way I feel,and I definately agree w/ Moxie about the sororities helping out.
