What if this had happened in Canada, where drinking age is 19, or on spring break in Mexico, where I'm guessing there is no such thing as a drinking age?

I think the laws against alcohol consmption before 21 are discriminatory, dangerous, misguided and wrong. I don't think it is in our values to obey laws that can be classified in that manner...any more than I think it was in our values in 1951 for sororities and fraternities to obey Jim Crow laws in the south.

Just pointing out that our values and the law of the land are not necessarily synonymous...it would be quite upsetting in some situations if they were. To intimate that if you break the laws you aren't upholding your GLO's values is ludicrous and asinine.

We'll never know if he was "pressured" to drink, as we were not there. The guys at Chi Psi might be total assholes, but that doesn't mean that they forced him to drink.
