<p>Thank MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), they got the drinking age raised from 18 to 21. We could havea a whole debate about the issue but that’s not the point here.</p>
<p>Anyway, W&L IS very proud of it’s Greek system and gives them a lot of independence and lets them enforce their own rules. In that way it is a truly Southern school. </p>
<p>"So, what has and has not changed?</p>
<p>First, the University continues to support a strong, responsible, and vibrant Greek system. It is an integral part of the university and there is absolutely no intent, by me or by the Board to eliminate its important role in student life. I am on record in numerous speeches, publications, and conversations with that position.</p>
<p>Second, there are no new rules governing alcohol (and drug) use on campus. "</p>
