Some NPC orgs subscribe to it in its entirety, but then allow for exceptions if you apply first to your HQ and ask for one.

Each group passed its own policy. About 3 said you can only mix with dry fraternities, 19-20 said the event itself has to be dry but the fraternity itself doesn't have to have dry housing or any sort of alcohol free policy, and 3 just passed the "support" policy which is basically saying alcohol free is nice but we can still drink at mixers. These may have changed since their initial adoption.

The only unanimous part was that the groups would "support" dry fraternities (i.e. they wouldn't stop mixing with them just because they were alcohol free) but that was it. And even that was a resolution, not a unanimous agreement.

I'm sorry if you felt jumped on, but as AF said, some people in this situation given an inch will take a mile. "OMG skylark said usually....that means if you're special like me you can rerush another sorority!!" It's not against you, it's to prevent the wrong impression.

i just don't...GET...this. why initiate into a sorority where you don't talk to half your chapter and generally don't like the chapter itself? i think it's pretty safe to assume no one held a gun to your head and said "accept this bid from ABC or die!!!" geez...i wouldn't blame the new chapter for not wanting to accept you if the attitude you present here is the same you give them.
