We should be demanding better grades, community service, and no hazing from our membership. I think alcohol has been made the scapegoat for too many of our problems. The alcohol doesn't leap into someone's mouth to be consumed. The individual decides to consume it. All too often, the individual decides to consume too much of it.
Fraternities now have a problem of their own creation.
There is not an overnight solution. I think the solution to the problem is going to have to center around getting very serious about enforcing hazing rules with a real no tolerance policy and demanding higher academic achievement through the enforcement of tighter academic standards. I don't think banning alcohol is going to cut it, and it probably won't change a great deal. There are too many outlets for obtaining alcohol to think banning alcohol in chapter houses is going to solve that problem. As noted in one of the background articles, those rules are often circumvented or ignored altogether.
