Lets reframe the question so that we can test our rationality.

When it comes to drinking does Greek Life, as a sample, reflect the tendencies of mainstream college students?

For example: Do mainstream college students not drink and greeks do drink?

Do greeks drink so much more than mainstream college students that they constitute a social fringe?

Because if Greeks are representive samples of college students, then there is no genuine problem . . . just a series of PC labels.

If that were true, the only real problem is that Greeks are singled out and punished for what everyone else is also doing.

In which case, as Greeks, why do we have our panties in a bunch about this?

We are becoming much like an abused person that believes they merit their abuse.

I wonder at you Greeks that have jumped on the self-abuse bandwagon . . . why would you believe your organizations and members merit abuse for engaging in behaviors that are generally considered by our society to be acceptable and are engaged in frequently by our peers?

Those of you that have subscrribed to this viewpoint are major contributors to Greeks being socially defensive.

Your Chamberlain like passive acceptance of anything college administrators are willing to dish out in the name of alcohol control has resulted in you hanging your brothers and sisters out to dry.

But hey, and here sarcasm is intended, some of you would kick out your members for shacking, or being sexually expressive.
