going totally dry is a bad idea. phi delta theta tried it and some friends i have in a phi delt chapter say that nationally, rush numbers fell, most chapters broke the rules anyway, and social events really hurt. and during rush, you dont go out and say that you drink, its pretty much just assumed when rushing a fraternity, however having to come out and say "we're dry" will turn away so many potential rushees. I dont want to hear the argument about how we have the best brotherhood and ritual, b/c i know that for a fact, but new guys wont know unless they join, and if being dry turns them away, then theyll never know. If something is proposed at GA, it wont pass, passing such a motion would be quite a blow to the national fraternity as well as chapters, and it could be a knockout blow too. to sum it up, going dry is a dumb idea!!!!!
