All chapter functions are still expected to meet the standards of the Fraternity's risk management policy. The principle objectives of AKL are the cultivation of friendships among members, the development of leadership skills, the pursuit of scholastic excellence, personal responsibility, and a high standard of morality. On today's college campus these principles are too often clouded by alcohol. For years fraternities have been sliding away from their founding principles toward existence as an entertainment-based organization. While the social aspect of our organization is important it is not based on alcohol but rather people, friendships, and good times.
Alcohol is in no way linked to our mission or purpose.
Across the country fraternity membership and academic achievement continues to decline. Insurance rates and liability claims rise. Alumni and parental involvement fades while ritual and principles take a backseat to weekends and late nights. There is clearly a struggle within the Greek system. A struggle between social ambitions and the mission of fraternities and sororities.
