That is a tremendously inaccurate and misleading statement. Chapters that want to behave like "animal houses" have seen an increasingly strained relationship. Chapters that want live up their values and ideals have seen an increasing amount of support from their HQs. The latter has become the dominant type of chapter in many GLOs.
As far as James original post, as much as I like James, the idea is terrible. If GLOs were to advocate a reduction in the drinking age, it would reinforce negative stereotypes. It would also necesitate a cultural change that would cause a regression in current fraternity programming and values.
I think the 21 YO drinking age is stupid, but if its going to be challanged, it needs to be challenged without the involvement of GLOs.
