Right.
If fraternity members know they'll be punished if they take this guy in for help, they probably won't take him to the hospital unless they're pretty sure he's otherwise going to die. And when they're drunk too, their logic is going to be fuzzy. They probably won't figure out how much is too much until it's too late.
There needs to be some kind of a system set up where fraternity members know that they won't be punished if they bring in one of their members to be detoxed, and that system needs to be followed -- otherwise the trust between GLO members and authority figures is broken. It just doesn't work for college students to have authority figures who are supposed to simultaneously help them and punish them. This goes for the whole college system -- not just GLO members. I know people in the dorms who are afraid to go to their RAs when one of their friends has drank way too much, because they know that someone will get in trouble for that. It's hard to trust your RA when you know that they're also responsible for getting you kicked out of the dorms if you drink too much, for example.
