To my knowledge only greeks participate in substance abuse prevention programs, but I never lived in the dorms so I don't know if they are required to also. However, when I was a new member with ADPi, I honestly can't remember being required to attend any type of event centered around substance abuse... then again I could have missed it.
Since SDSU is such a commuter campus, it seems important to educate ALL students on the dangers of binge drinking... even if it's as simple as putting more articles in the Daily Aztec, holding rallies, putting up posters... whatever. It's not just the dorm kids who drink a lot, but a lot of commuters come to the area on the weekends looking for parties.
*edit* The Daily Aztec has a new article about Jenny's death:
http://media.www.thedailyaztec.com/m...-2897997.shtml. They're reporting that she had attended Alpha Phi's formal on Saturday night before she died.
Quote:
Poliakoff, who many called "Jenny," returned to her apartment on May 6 after attending her sorority's formal the previous night. At about 9:40 a.m., Poliakoff's brother, who lived with her in the apartment, found her dead in her bedroom, University Police Lt. Robert McManus said.
The chapter dispatched two regional officers who arrived in San Diego on May 6. The officers and Alpha Phi International officials will work with the chapter and its members to provide whatever support may be necessary, Doug Case, the coordinator for the Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life, said in a statement.
"Their (Alpha Phi) national has instructed them not to talk about this," Case said. "Once they have a more definitive cause of death, they will release that."
Alpha Phi has pledged to the university that it will cooperate in any investigation of the circumstances surrounding Poliakoff's death, Case said.
