I think it's tiresome to say that fraternity houses are messy or dilapidated because of drinking in them. I've seen plenty of dorms and other student apartments where they don't drink and are still messy. If mommy picked up everything before the kid came to school, I don't know why it's assumed he's immediately going to turn into Martha Stewart. This doesn't have to do with drinking, but with responsibility. I would bet the houses that have responsible drinkers in them look better than the ones where the guys do nothing but get poopy-faced.
AXiD670, this is if you have a house off-campus that everyone refers to as "the sorority house." It doesn't apply to 3 girls living in an apartment who happen to be sisters.

I am not sure I like these new alcohol policies. I don't get why NPC has to change on the basis of helping IFC fraternites. I thought that we were independent women's organizations and this seems like it goes against that. If the rational was based more on another factor, i'd have no issue, but to help out dry fraternities...

And this, to me, is the dumbest thing. I mean, think about what the fraternities that bought this to NPC are saying by asking for our "support." They're saying they don't think girls will want to hang out with their brothers unless booze is involved - which doesn't say much about their opinion of their brothers. They're saying this really isn't a good or popular policy because someone else has to help them enforce it. They're saying they don't really have the guts to strike out on their own without assurance. I mean, when we raised our GPA, I'm sure it hurt our rush at some schools because there were women who couldn't pledge us. We didn't ask other sororities or the fraternities to "support" us. We knew it was the right thing to do and we didn't need to have our choice validated.
If I'm not mistaken, Farmhouse has ALWAYS had dry housing and they've never asked for anyone's "support."
