Education, not prohibition, is the key. All the original prohibition did was make criminals of many law abiding citizens - which is exactly what the prohibition for ages 18-20 is doing now. And banning alcohol from a house does nothing for the safety of the members. It is only for the safety of the organization.
Think about it. Are the majority of the people you know who drink or drank underage bad people? Do they lie, cheat, steal or do other unlawful things? Have any of them ever been in trouble with the law?
Banning alcohol from fraternities wouldn't have kept this girl alive. She wanted to drink and it sounds like she wouldn't have stopped until she found somewhere to do so.
The more fraternities and sororities ban alcohol instead of educate its members on how to handle it, the more we support this unjust law.
p.s. Did anyone else read this "diary" and think "Laura Palmer"?
