Ask women from ALL the sororities.

Question: if you don't like Theta Chi & Phi Delt's alcohol policies, why do you want to go with them? It seems counterproductive. It would be one thing if this was a specific value you espoused, but it seems to be something you see as a negative. You should look at other fraternities instead - you don't want to be fighting w/ your national from the moment you begin.

lol, well I actually have no problem with that policy b/c I don't drink myself (so that wouldnt be a issue for me). I was just wanting to know if that specific policy would make it harder to get people to join....

It depends on your campus, honestly. Some places people will welcome that as an option and will like the idea of substance-free living...some places the complete opposite. You know your campus the best and how well it will go over.
