I am intrigued by the bold, italicized and underlined words above (I added the B, I and U). No where on the Beta site can I find these words defined.
Yet I can find them defined on several University web sites to include all tobacco products and at some smaller, religious based schools, even includes caffine.
What is the "will be blessed by the US Supreme Court, can not be legally challenged" Beta definition of these words?
Based on the substance abuse education program at my son's middle school, all household cleaning products and aerosoles that are "huffed" would fall into the catagory requiring a Beta chapter to keep them out of the living environment.
If the chapter did not have a house and the members were living in a dorm and the school used cleaning products that fell into this category, the chapter would be in violation.
Also, if the members lived in a dorm and a there was booze or drugs any where in the building (even if not in the Beta's room), this could be viewed as a violation.
Just something to consider.
