Drinking responsibly when you're of age isn't disrespectful in its own right, but misusing alcohol is, no matter if you're 18, 28 or 68, in a GLO, the CEO of your company or a church secretary.

And I think many people have issues with smoking because of the health hazards assoicated with it, and therefore see it as a "dirty" habit. I smoked in college, quit when I met my husband and now wonder why I did it in the first place. (though I don't think smokers are dirty, I know it's a personal choice, but others don't share the same opinions I do.)

I guess some orgs just view it as one way their members can go about not perpetuating negative Greek stereotypes to those outside of Greek life. It isn't too terribly difficult and it doesn't hurt anyone, so what's the harm, even if some do think it's hypocritical?
