Huh. I am an alum but still young enough that I keep up with what's going on at my campus, and the number of mixers doesn't seem to have dropped at all. To be honest, though, the girls find ways around it. Everyone goes home, changes, and then comes back to the boys' house and then they just happen to drink!
There are several dry fraternitiy houses on campus and they still have parties and mixers - I don't think the loss of alcohol has affected their numbers or popularity.
It does seem a little hypocritical of us to complain that we're no longer allowed to have alcohol at the fraternity houses anymore, though, whether it's because our own rules forbid it or because the fraternity's or university's rules do. After all, we've been "using" the fraternities for years - our houses have been dry forever. Turnabout is fair play, I guess.
