Just to clarify what they mean in the article, the Stanford Row is not all greek. In fact, at this moment, only 10 houses are actually greek. The rest of the 33 houses are theme dorms, co-ops, or regular student housing.
Freshman Orientation being dry is nothing new. It's just new wording for the same age-old policy that Stanford has had in the past. I am guessing the new wording is a direct result of Stanford's inability to keep the campus 'dry' for the period they desire.
I agree that the wording of the policy probably isn't good, but Stanford's been shifting blame of underage drinkers steadily since President Hennessey was inagurated and his son started college. They have also been cracking down on everyone on every infraction since the new police chief was hired - from MIPs to lack of bike lights. There might not be a connection with the campus administrators having kids in college at Stanford, but from a recent alumna's perpective, it sure seemed like it while I was a student.
Once these kids are out of college, the attitude of the campus may change. Or someone needs to re-hire Gerhard Casper.
