Having new members show up drunk at social events has led the U. of Colorado's Panhellenic to "temporarily suspend" events with alcohol.
(Alert readers will remember that U. of Colorado Greek life just recently got some national publicity because a fraternity's pledges trashed a couple of motel rooms. I'm sure it isn't an incredibly fun time right now for Greeks at Colorado - Boulder.)

Recent sorority social events have resulted in a temporary alcohol suspension to the CU Panhellenic sorority chapters.
. . . Panhellenic . . . agreed to temporarily suspend social events with alcohol after several new members from several different chapters arrived intoxicated to sorority social events.
Director of Greek life John Henderson said the suspension happened about a week and a half ago.
"The student leadership felt it was necessary for the Panhellenic chapters to re-visit their social events policies and procedures before holding future social events," Henderson said..
. . . Panhellenic leaders contacted have yet to respond for interviews.
