Come on Brad, you're a smart guy - I think you'd know better than to get all Cocker Spaniel eyed over something just cause it's a "Harvard study."
I think what madmax wanted to say (sorry if I am putting words in your mouth) is that 95% of underage college students drink underage. There are more 21+ year olds at college now than ever cause of returning students and more people being on 5-6-7 year plans.
I don't think it has as much to do with drinking **regularly** as much as having the option. When I pledged we had a great many sisters who drank rarely, if at all. That doesn't mean that they wanted to join the WCTU.
If a fraternity wants to kick out every underager that drinks (and sticks to it for every instance, every chapter), fine, go for it. You are within your boundaries to do it, and will probably be lauded for it by many people. But I guarantee you, your fraternity will be very, very different. You might flourish, and you might disintegrate. The only way we can know is if a large national fraternity takes that path.
