You are right in that regard, but to say that one of the main directives of every chapter should be going dry is wrong.

It's all about self-control, in many situations. If a person can't handle themselves when drunk, how do they handle themselves in other situations?

Another thing I kind of noticed was that it seemed to me that MoP wants to make it easier to get into Beta. The entire 'Bid only those that you want to see become a brother'.

It's hard, or near impossible, to get an accurate description of a person you just met. It can take weeks to really find out what a person is like. Longer pledging processes and harder pledging brings out people's true colors.

Its like in the Army. You don't know what a person is made of until you see them under pressure. I personally want to see that before I accept someone in my fraternity. I don't want someone that's going to break down or crack under a little stress. That's not what Beta's are. We are leaders in every regard and someone that can't face stress and difficult situations without breaking down is not a leader.
