On the other hand, if we all had GLO's that made the chapters become dry on some arbitrary day (say, 9/1/04), I imagine it would have an effect on recruitment. Sadly, it would probably be a downward slide.
Since I was seeking an organization to join 30 years ago, I would've sought out a fraternity anyway. In other words, booze wasn't the deciding factor for my joining--I could've stayed in the dorms and gotten sloshed, for what that's worth.
Universally creating dry organizations would also send a major message to the general public that only sees us as nothing more than living examples of "Animal House"/"Old School".
Later-
