The reason for going dry is very simple - insurance companies will not cover fraternities who have had big payouts due to law suits unless they have a "dry" policy in place. Without insurance, there can be no fraternity. It is working with some groups. Yes, there are many who disagree and some who refuse to abide by the policy; however, if they do not abide by the policy and there is an incident, the insurance does not cover them. It is just that simple! Would you rather change or see your fraternity go under because of one law suit which is all it would take if the insurance coverage is not there.
