If people are showing up drunk... common sense would tell you they are not getting it at the event... but during activities before.
Just sayin'.

^^^Thinking the same damn thing. Honestly, they apparently don't need these social events with alcohol-they've got their own!

On the other hand...
If you're dumb enough to show up trashed, you get what's coming to you. I know campuses are different...but on ours if a member shows up drunk to an official event, it's going to be a huge problem.

I've seen instances where collegians have showed up to events super wasted because of pre-funking. Pre-funking happens and there's very little we can do to stop it.
If members and guests show up like that, turn em away and don't let them in, that way it WON'T be a huge problem. And we've done that! If they've already paid, well -- give em their money back. Attending things like formals and such are a privilege, not a right.
If a chapter has a rule saying "if you didn't make grades, you're not allowed to attend social events" why can't there be a rule saying "if you show up to social events trashed, you won't be let in" ?
Punishing the entire Panhellenic community because of a few bad apples isn't fair at all.

Fortunately that just doesn't happen much on our campus in general...I feel like we're a little backwards down here but sometimes that can be a good thing. A lot of my friends at big schools have booze pictures all over facebook, show up drunk to everything, and even drink at official events. Here it's an unspoken rule...don't advertise your drinking, even if you're of age.
Ours know better than to try that...they know they'll be sent home and they'll pay the fine for missing the event, unexcused. And if the under 21s show up to formal drunk they're not going. And they won't be getting a refund, either. So no one tries...money seems to be a good motivator.

We had the same rule as OTW. You show up drunk, you don't get on the bus to go (21 or not). We didn't care if it was formal and you were totally done up and with your date. Since events like socials and formal are included in our dues, refunds are out of the question. We stressed this before every big social thing so everybody was well aware of it.
