If you're not 21 you shouldn't be drinking. That's the law. They shouldn't even really be addressing a 'dry pledge period' since it's against the law for you to drink anyway.

Just because a person is pledging doesn't mean she's under 21. (Or she could be in Canada where drinking age is 19.)

The fact that the majority of pledges are under drinking age does not make it right to enact rules that can negatively impact the minority.

Yes I understand. Our VP of Standards came into our new member meeting recently and was like 'You guys aren't 21 there should be no drinking'. She didn't realize we actually pledged two 21 year olds this year so they can drink.
