Smoking In-House

I don't believe that they're going to lose their charter for smoking outside. Nor do I suspect that if we're really talking 5 people outside smoking at a time that the cops are really getting called. Plenty of people have mentioned alternatives. And for non-smokers, the smelly house isn't generally worth it.

Their house smells (per the OP) and people are choosing not to come to the house/not join the fraternity because of it. They smoke outside the rest of the year. It's time to suck it up and go out in the cold.

Sorry you don't believe that things like that actually happen. THEY DO.

That's nice, but that's not what the OP said was an issue. All these other issues were brought up as hypothetical by posters in this thread. So they're irrelevent here since the issue here is the smokers who don't want to go out in the cold.

And why the hell would a charter get pulled for smoking outside? That's beyond the idiot neighbors calling the cops for no reason, issue. If someone was going to pull the charter for that they'd have pulled it anyway for any excuse.
