Got a DWI a few days ago should I still rush?

As long as it's something minor (DWI/posession) it usually wouldn't affect our acceptance of someone as a pledge.

But I don't know if there are any rules regarding it?

Yes, pledging or being a member. What level of conviction could be grounds for not granting a bid, or even suspending/expelling a member? (If that's private, that's fine).

This means you're really going to have to stay sober during rush and your first months at college. If you get into trouble you're going to get destroyed in court.

I knew someone who had an underage OVI (what they call them in Ohio) and he had to pay a fine and be on probation for a year or two. Judge said if he was caught underage drinking he would face the maximum the judge could impose. Needless to say my friend stayed out of trouble and DD'd a ton.

Let's say such a person was at a party (where there is drinking), and the party gets busted. Do the cops give breathalyzer tests to all the underage people?
