You don't have to drink if you join a fraternity. You probably will feel uncomfortable in a fraternity where heavy drinking is the norm - and you'll see indications during rush if a chapter does drink heavily. If you are required to drink as a pledge - that's hazing. If you are forbidden to drink if you are a pledge of legal drinking age - that could be construed as hazing also.
When I was in college *ahem* years ago, when open parties with free-flowing alcohol were the norm, and they would card but then cheerfully ignore the big black X on the back of your hand ... there was a fraternity chapter where one of the actives was a recovering alcoholic. The chapter had at least one party each semester that was dry. I have a lot of respect for that chapter - they knew the party would be poorly attended but they had it anyway.
