Another thing to keep in mind is that most, if not all, NPC sororities have programs in place to discourage drinking, especially underage drinking and alcohol abuse. I will take my sorority as an example - I think this is fairly typical:

- Part of our new member education is about alcohol awareness - the effects of alcohol on your body, how to recognize if you or someone you know might have a problem with alcohol, resources that you can use.
- All members are expected to abide by all federal, state/province, and local laws, and university regulations - this includes the drinking age.
- Chapter funds cannot be used to buy alcohol, even indirectly (e.g. co-sponsoring an event with another group who offers to buy the booze while AEPhi buys the food or pays the rent for the venue).
- All AEPhi houses are dry; this means no alcohol at all, even if you are of age and keep it in your room.

All NPC recruitment activities, including bid day, are also dry.

No matter which sorority you look at, chances are some sisters drink and others don't. But no one will ever think the less of you for choosing not to drink (and if they did, would you really want to be there?).

Do you have friends who are in sororities and don't drink? Try citing them as examples to the naysayers.
