S&S,
Your comments about drinking in the sorority house are exactly right, but you didn't mention the one reason that sorority houses are dry -- and that is that drinking and partying in your own house tends to trash the house, and liability insurance rates soar. Which, of course, is why fraternity insurance is so much higher than sorority insurance. Sororities understand that.
Truth of the matter is that a huge percentage (I don't remember the number) of insurance claims for damage and other liability in fraternity houses is for damage caused by visiting women.
And we all understand that college drinking isn't going to go away.
But if we don't get a handle on some of this stuff, we as a system will go away instead.
At the very least, it is incumbent on us as advisors, officers, etc. to attempt to enforce the rules -- even if it's a lost cause. I mean, how would it look to the courts if we just threw our hands up in the air and let things run wild?
