Erik, so you know, the drinking age is 21 in every state now, and has been for quite some time.

That being said, I've seen a variety of policies, from a completely dry house to houses that had kegs on their front porch. Does TKE have a international policy on alcohol/risk management? I know several other major fraternities do, and I think that'd be the first guideline to follow.

You'll need to have active and involved alumni in order to enforce the policy, because college guys will look for any way possible to skirt it.
