Five Towson Sororities on Probation (Alcohol)

Of course, at the time the drinking age in Louisiana was 18 so the problem of underage drinking was not so big in our state. I was only 17 so I guess I broke the law.

I couldn't find a source on the official NPC website, but a Google search on NPC+alcohol+bid day came up with a word document from the College of William and Mary's Inter-Sorority Association from 2005.

If the website is indeed factual, then

6. Following the 1991 NPC Rush Resolution, there are to be no men and/or alcohol involved in a chapter’s Bid Day celebrations or celebrations sponsored by individual members of the organization. Bid Day Celebrations will be considered any chapter/sister activity that begin between the extending of bids and 8:00am the morning following Bid Day.

I'm sure the date's somewhere in the Green Book (for whoever has a copy handy).
