We all know that alcohol will be a part of the college experience but even collegiates have to learn to be responsible in their drinking and by the very beliefs of fraternities and sororities, each member must accept responsibility for his/her brothers and sisters.
Get a grip on reality - the many law suits that have already been filed and settled should tell you that this is the way things are! Until people are not so quick to sue, it will remain this way. The insurance companies only agree to cover the groups if they are following the policies - that is a fact!
I suggest that collegiates get over the belief that they are entitled to endanger themselves and others. There is a responsible way to handling "partying" -- learn it!

It really does hit a lot closer to home when it's your name that's on the line as an advisor of division/national officer, and realize how real these problems are.
Too bad that every undergraduate/collegiate member doesn't receive the Risk Management newsletters that we do.
Scary stuff.
