Forget rules for a moment. If you weren't in a sorority or a faternity at all, what would you do? You would go to the bars and have a designated driver. Plain and simple. If one of the NPC sororities banned the "sober sis" idea, than they probably are a dry sorority and can not have sorority functions that involve alchohol, which means, if they are having a social gathering and report that to their sorority--no alcohol will be present. If they are drinking at a social function, it has nothing to do with their sorority. The two don't even go together. The individual is liable, not the sorority. If they drive drunk, that is their own fault. Even if the sorority banned a "sober sis" policy, that doesn't mean that the sisters of that sorority can't do it on their own. They are smart enough to know that they should have a designated driver if they are drinking. As for rural areas, i went to a small college in a rural area where no taxi's exist either. People need to learn responsibility. There is no excuse for not having a designated driver. If nobody volunteers, than names should be pulled from a hat. If there is still a situation the party or event should not take place. Common sense should tell you that. If the town is dry, and you have to leave town to drink. . .what is the answer? Designated Driver! If a sorority or frat decide to drink and drive, they are irrisponsible people who are obviously not concerned with the safety of their sister/bros. or themselves. There should not even be a question about this topic. College students should have enough responsiblity and common sense to have a designated driver. If they don't, than they should go back home and live with mommy. It makes me upset that people argue with this theory. They are going to make sorority and frat. houses dry. Plain and simple. It's a fact that we have to live with. If you don't like it, take it up with you nationals. If you don't, you can't complain. If you do, and if your goal is not met, than live with the new policies and find ways to be responsible. The death rate should not go up because of the "sober sis" or "sober bro" policies, and if there isn't one in your frat or sorority, than you should be smart enough to create one for you individual chapter needs. Only stupid people do stupid things. Don't admit you're stupid by arguing against the point of having designated drivers just because you don't want the frat and sorority houses to go dry.
