Matthew--the difference is is that excessive consumption of Coke doesn't cause you to act like a jackass, forget large portions of an evening, engage in risky sexual behavior, and generally make yourself seem like a pain in the butt. It's not a group of people I am trying to impress by not getting loaded in my letters, it is respect for the founders of my org. who belived that these letters ideally meant more then some drunk college girls having a good time. I know I still represent my org when I am not wearing letters, but it is not as in your face as when you have letters on. The general public has no clue that you are greek unless you are wearing something with letters on it. Also the general public doesn't know the greek alphabet so to them when you are drunk in your letters, its those fraternity boys, not the boys from alpha beta gamma etc.
But back to the original question, do you all feel that this effects the numbers guys are taking in recruitment?
