You are absolutly right. It is an unfair balance of power. I think that the social life (again, talking about legitimate social functions) of any greek system would benefit from more sorority initiative, input, and participation. More varitiey, better turnout, better opportunities...would all come from more sorority involvement in social aspects of greek life. This better quality of our social aspects would hopefully act as a deterant to other, riskier, activities that some members gravitate towards when what's being offered isn't enticing enough.
It's about giving members options and choices and making the right chioces more appealing then the wrong ones. I think more sorority social participation can solve more than just this one problem of under age drinking, it can help with a lot of things. Unfortunatly the National Organizations do not seem to be willing to admit any part their members may have in the problems and therefore not recognize any part they may have in the solutions. And with the lawsuit happy world we live in, I can't really blame them. They do have an amazing control when it comes to liability issues. But, with any great reward there is risk...we all may be missing out on the obvious solution to the bigger, Greek wide problem b/c we are only looking for it in the Fraternities...I think both sides have the answer and need to come together to make it work.
And 33 girl,
dinner and drinks and I'm yours!
