DeltAlum, I am glad to hear you make the distinction that emotionally you aren't for dry housing. In my opinion, the out of control underage drinking that occurs isn't a Greek problem....that's just the only place at some schools where students can get alcohol readily and an easy target because it's an organized group. It's a SOCIETAL problem of a society that grants all rights of adults but one to its young people. And then when those people do receive that right, society's shocked that they don't go from clueless to supereducated. I bet if you looked at schools that don't have Greeks, or non-Greek schools, you would find just as much unwise drinking. It just doesn't get splashed all across the front pages. The 21 drinking age needs to be repealed NOW, for the sake of all young people, not just college students and not just Greeks. I personally think it's better for kids to get the "stupid drinking" out of their system while under the parental roof rather than 1000 miles away.
