This is Pi Beta Phi's statement on alcohol.
Alcohol-Free Housing resolution
Whereas,
An alcohol-free living environment provides cleaner, safer facilities which are conducive to our mission of scholastic excellence and where behavior consistent with Fraternity principles can flourish; and
Whereas,
The misuse of alcohol by college and university students is contrary to the founding values and the standards of Greek organizations, detracts from the mission of higher education of our host institutions and endangers student welfare; and
Whereas,
All Pi Beta Phi Fraternity chapter facilities are and have always been alcohol free; and Whereas, Several National Interfraternity Conference fraternities have committed to, or are considering, establishing alcohol-free housing by the year 2000; and
Whereas,
Pi Beta Phi desires to be supportive of National Interfraternity Conference fraternity alcohol-free housing; therefore, be it
Resolved
That beginning with the fall term of the year 2000, Pi Beta Phi collegiate chapters will cosponsor functions at men's fraternity houses, dorms or lodges only if those facilities are alcohol free.
