Trips to vineyards and drinking responsibly with family in the old country are very different from boozing at a party.
- Maybe someone volunteers at a church and talked about how communion wine is prepared.
- You never said it didn't apply to alumnae either.

Before you twist your panties further, look at the facts. Factually, that IS against the code of standards. It is worded so that alcohol cannot be associated with our letters in any way. It doesn't have a, b, and c for exceptions. Do I think anyone is going to turn a girl into EC for being in a vineyard with her parents? No. That's just the way it is...personally I don't have much patience for people who get so worked up about that. It's not a big deal to just leave alcohol out of the picture. There's a reason for it...unfortunately the bad eggs ruined it for the rest of us.
I don't see why someone would have the desperate need to discuss that on a facebook or mypace. It's a personal thing, but with me I don't discuss things so important on a facebook. If they chose to, again, I doubt they'd be turned in. But yes, that's technically against the code of standards as well. I can't see a situation in which it is absolutely essential to post something like that online.
Ok. Wah.
