“pink- would you say the “certain greek organizations” were mostly fraternities, sororities, or both? Rather than banning them, it sounds like the school needs to use this as a ‘learning moment’, and start with the glorification of binge drinking by these organizations- why do these kids think it is cool to drink until you vomit and/or pass out? Social skills are important to learn in college too, and learning to drink without being drunk should be the goal for those who choose to drink. Of course those who choose to be alcohol free don’t need any training.”

Both (relatively evenly split), yet by no means the majority of organizations all together. The problem is not really the organizations as a whole; usually the issue is just a select few members who mess it up for everyone. Also, some organizations who are in trouble arguably haven’t done much wrong. I don’t really want to discuss this online – but I’d just like to put that out there.

I completely understand what you’re saying, and I agree with you! I just also believe that a majority of students here can handle their responsibilities, and just a handful have a real issue with understanding the implications of drinking that much.
