I know at least one chapter with which I work has rules in thier COC about smoking cigarettes in thier letters, too.
It's a debate between some other advisors with which I work, but from an alumna perspective, I fall on the side of modeling responsible behavior. If I'm wearing my letters and we all decide to go get dinner or something, I don't see a problem with having a glass of wine with my meal. It's like the others said- I believe there is a big difference between simply drinking in my letters, and getting drunk in my letters.

In my chapter, it's ok for alumnae to meet up for dinner and a drink and have
letters on (A drink, not GET drunk)....undergrads are not allowed to drink in
letters.
We're not allowed to smoke in our
letters, either. If you're wearing an ASA shirt and want a cigarette, you should change shirts first. One org. on campus allows their members to smoke in
letters, but they can't smoke and walk, because that increases the chances that you'll end up upsetting someone you walk past by blowing smoke on them. (I think that's their reasoning)
