Truth is that many fraternity chapters who have gone "dry" have actually grown in size. Some haven't. I suppose it depends on how pre-disposed the members are to drinking.
I do believe this, though. If chapters don't go dry, the cost of Risk Management, including insurance, will price us right out of existance.
That is, if the terrible publicity of alcohol abuse, deaths and hazing don't do it first.
I have long been an advocate of lowering the beer drinking age to 18 again, but that doesn't change the dynamics of dry housing. It has to happen, and it will if the fraternity system is to survive.
Now, since a large number of the insurance claims for fraternities are caused by sorority and other women, I wonder if any have wondered what the effect of no fraternities could have on our Greek sisters.
Food for thought, anyway.
