Something that drives me nuts...

I was looking at the U of Rhode Island website (there was a thread on them in the Rush forum) and came across a newspaper story saying that "all the fraternities are now alcohol free. The sororities have always been alcohol free."

Well, this is untrue - it's the fraternity and sorority HOUSES that are alcohol free. I know of no NPC sorority or IFC fraternity that prohibits its of-age members from consuming alcohol.

This is why we should never refer to a chapter as a "house." It fosters the misperception that the house = the chapter and the chapter members.

Also, when things like this are printed and then Greek members are seen out on the town drinking - it makes us look like a bunch of hypocrites, because we're supposedly "alcohol free."

Please make an effort if anything regarding your house's alcohol free status is in the campus newspaper, to make sure it's reported properly. There should be no doubt that the members are still free to make decisions on their own.
