I think you are making good sense, but I think that the main problem is that drinking age is 21.

Thats what is killing greeks.

IF you want that to stop being a factor, dont take initiates under 21. Immediately expel any member under 21 that drinks (Zero Tolerance) and/or require all fraternity houses have a live in advisor that enforces dry housing rules.

If the Greek System, or its various parts (Nationals, Chapters, Members, Alumni, Members, etc) don't want to do something about this fairly significant problem, then I don't think I have any interest in staying involved.

There is more than the tragic death of young people involved here. In the long run, the very existance of Greek Life is in danger.

At least that's my opinion.
