Post drinking in letters

I know we have gone over the thread with do you feel it is appropriate to drink/ smoke/ etc. in letters or whatever. But how do you feel about it in reference to an outdoor festival and possible rush repercutions. Let me give you some background. I'm in Tampa and for all of you who aren't under a rock, we have the SuperBowl here this weekend. One local annual outdoor party is Gasparilla, which is an all day parade to celebrate some pirate and the founding of Tampa or some business like this. And since the SuperBowl was in town they moved it up to make more money from the event (its normally held later in feb.) Anyway, back to my point. During the day at Gasparilla, the police do not enforce the no drinking in public law, and everyone pretty much is strolling around getting pretty messed up. One fraternity in particular (not sure if from my school or another chapter in the city) all had letters on and were smashed, shouting at girls to "show their T*ts", falling over, loud, rowdy the whole nine yards. So, I am watching these guys and I am thinking..So, if I was a possible rushee or thinking about going greek, would I really want these to be my brothers who are totally disrespectful lushes? Not to mention how they are just furthering the "frat boy" stereotype as it is. What do you all think about this in conjunction with possible backlash when it comes to rush?
