Yes, specifically, but it's a good idea to provide none if this problem is getting out of control.

I agree that the problem will disappear if you don't serve drinks. Of course so will the party goers.

They won't. The fraternity on my campus I wrote about did eliminate drinks for a while and the parties didn't shrink. It won't make the problem disappear but it's a good way to cover ass...probably every fraternity has had this rumor thrown around about them at some point, but when it gets out of control in my opinion it's better to make some drastic changes then let it continue.

While I am not condoning underage drinking, at 95% (if not more) of the colleges in America this would be a bigger reputation killer than being seen as sleazy. Not saying this is right, but it's how it would work out.

I guess I disagree because I've seen it done, and though in every case I've seen it it was temporary, it both helped send a message that the fraternity was serious about reacting to the rumors and helped kill them. They didn't see a decrease in their party numbers and eventually everything went back to normal. It didn't kill rumors but it helped quiet them. And in some cases girls were truly avoiding the house because they really believed they'd be drugged.

That's what BYOB is for. If its a good house to party people won't mind bring their own drinks and the numbers won't go down.
