The other issue is that the turnover is so fast on college campuses...you have to continuously educate members because after a couple years, no one is aware of a major one-time educational effort or one-time program. I also notice a certain amount of "we're still going to do this, but we'll just be sneakier about it," instead of real change, and inappropriate practices that can sneak in and quickly become part of the culture...because of the turnover, no one realizes that this risky/borderline tradition was recently started by a peer with poor compliance behavior. Although they know it's inappropriate, they think there's some tradition involved that they're powerless to change. Underlying all of it is age, developing decision-making skills (which may be compromised by alcohol use), groupthink, feelings of invincibility, etc., which really underscore the need for proactive advisors who have a strong rapport with members and the respect of the chapter
