Panhel's statements only discuss the positive aspects of the alcohol policy, but it does not mention the negative effects on the rest of the greek community. While the object is to "level the playing field" for dry fraternities, you are actually discriminating against fraternities that allow alcohol on the premises. And forcing them to seek 3rd party vendors is a financial burden that doesn't seem to hold well. Even believing this policy would work relies on everyone following the rules. I've seen people hold illegal mixers and socials to circumvent the rules. This policy exists only to make people believe the problem is being addressed.
Perhaps this policy is working on some campuses, I really don't know because I've never heard one person mention how great and helpful it was to their organization. But I'm sure that's not the case and still feel their is a more effective hands on approach to the issue that is not being used.
