This is why Munchkin doesn't drink in letters: when I joined, I seriously had family members ask me how much I drank, if I was forced to drink as part of a new member activity. Friends weren't much better--they just knew I was going to drink, Greek or not.
The stigma I felt from family members who thought that NPC/NIC Greeks were nothing but a bunch of lushes stuck with me, and now I am very careful about how I carry myself as far as alcohol is concerned. I don't want to be responsible for perpetrating that stereotype--or any negative one, for that matter, about GLO membership.
