i don't think it is just the attitudes and policies of fraternities that need to change....it is college-aged students in general. my freshmen year in college, there was a rally on campus....protesting the fact that the college was cracking down on underage drinking. they were actually hoping that the college would ignore that this was happening. the people in charge of this were NOT GREEK at all. i think "kids" think this is a rite of passage....it is the time to get drunk and be care free. i am not sure if having "dry houses" will make a difference. people in abc fraternity will have a party at an off campus house. they will try the "it was not an event" excuse, but legally the fraternity will probably be implicated. should fraternities/ sororities be held accountable for things that happen in residences of their members? they can monitor what happens in "chapter" houses, but how can they monitor what happens in every single member's residence?
