- 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.

This goes for AOII as well.
I'm the girl, even though I'm of age, who gets the camera and gets my sisters/friends at their worst!
On my campus, no sorority house can have alcohol in their house, they cannot co sponsor an event that has alcohol, and we aren't allowed at fraternity houses during recruitment b/c of parties and 'dirty rushing'. So, I wouldn't worry about it, drinking falls into the one of the 5 D's catagory: Dudes, Daddies, Drinkin, Drugs, and Doin' it.
