Dry pledging is hazing. It forbids the pledges from doing something the sisters are allowed to do. We outlawed this as hazing back in the 1970's.
Of course if the pledges (or sisters) are underage they should not be drinking anyway. But if we're talking chapters in Canada where the age is lower or pledges who are 21 (they do exist) to tell them they can't drink at a bar or in their house is gross infringement on their rights.
Not to mention, if you say "no drinking while pledging" and all your pledges are underage, it's kinda like you're saying you condone underage drinking which can be a risk management problem. Sort of like Congress saying there is no Mafia and then holding special sessions to discuss the Mafia problem.
Dry RUSH (what AOII Azra-elle is actually talking about) is a whole other matter as the whole sorority ceases drinking.
