I have a probem with releasing the info because then the school can bust a greek organization.

I dunno I used to be very much on the side of the 'it's not the greek system's fault' but now I'm changing my mind. I think schools should know when students are going to the hospital for alcohol related problems. I think that in order for the university/college to operate, and create a living community, these issues need to be known and addressed. And yes, I think that schools where Greeks/ Greek run events are the major cause of alcohol poisoning or severe drunkeness that we should be in trouble. No where, as pointed out previously, do our organizations require alcohol to function. Either we be more responsible, or we face the consequences.
I really do think that alcohol poisoning is totally preventable. And I think we need to stop bitching about it, or promoting programs that don't really work and just deal with the problems. If that means giving amnesty to those to help a friend, great, but bitching and moaning about how the hosptials are wrong, or the university/college was wrong is getting old. Yea there are cases where we are treated unfairly, but we keep giving them reason after reason.
