Question alcohol

Could someone explain this to me, please!?

I have been following this forum for quite a while now and as a European fraternity member I am somewhat bewildered at what I read in various posts about alcohol.

It seems to me that a lot of sororities and fraternities have very strict alcohol policies - to name a few: no drinking while wearing letters, no drinking during rush and so on - On the other hand, if you read between the lines, alcohol is a big thing.

I guess because students are away from home for the first time, ID-faking is not very difficult and legal drinking age is 21.

Don't you think the official policies are a bit hypocritical - I mean, to put alcohol into a brown bag, so you can't see the label but everybody knows: oups, alcohol inside.

Why not be honest. To drink a beer or two is ok. Where is the problem? German and other fraternities face the same problem. People think they are the home of future alcoholics.
It is definitely not true, but we will never be able to change the prejudice! So ? - we simply don't mind.

Ok, I don't expect members of officially dry fraternities/sororities to come out and say: it's all a hoax, but what is everybody's opinion on this? I am very curious to learn something about the transatlantic point of view!

Best, Matt http://www.kdstv-bodensee.de
