Alcohol is not going to bring any thing to the surface that is not already there. If a chapter acts like a bunch of drunken assholes, even when sober they will be assholes. The only thing this rule is doing is pushing many potential good guys away because they do not want to rush a house that is dry or pushes the no-alcohol clause so harshly.
When you see people drink in their homes or at a family gathering...do you automatically assume them to be drunken rednecks? Why would you make the same assumption about seeing a guy drink on the front porch of his frat house?
Along those lines, if someone is going to judge me purely for that reason and not join my frat...well, chances are I wouldn't have offered them a bid even if they did come and rush. Guys like that are not the men I want in my chapter. We had brothers that did not drink or smoke and there was no problem with that.
The SUV example was awful. Not the same thing at all. I didn't join when it was dry and I think that it is a terrible idea to place so much pressure on this single issue. I know that the GF has to protect itself, yet making it's members give up lawful privileges of age is wrong.
