Suppose you have a girl, Nina New Member, who is underage and who, during pledging, goes to a party with some friends, drinks too much, and is sent to the hospital with alcohol poisoning. Everyone knows that Nina is pledging JKL (felt like using new letters for a change, LOL) and it raises eyebrows with the school Panhellenic and possibly with JKL's nationals.
Now, suppose instead that JKL told their nm's that they're dry during pledging. Sure some of the girls might not be too happy about that, but in the long run, wouldn't it be better for JKL because it would be a sort of risk management?

IMO, Nina should be sent to whatever standards or discipline type committee that JKL has, because what she did was not upholding the standards of JKL. It is a shame that the sisters of JKL,
unofficially, did not keep a watchful eye on Nina's drinking (if they were at the party) out of sisterly concern for her. HOWEVER, this is not a fraternity risk management issue, because the party is not a function of JKL. It is an issue of Nina choosing unwisely.
