The six fraternities, Delta Sigma Phi, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Sigma, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Nu and Sigma Pi each made the decision to ban alcohol from national chapter houses over the past year. All of the fraternities who signed the declaration based their decisions on rising insurance rates. When individual houses will become dry will be different for each chapter, but most houses must be free of alcohol by the year 2000.
Some fraternities are still undecided about the banning of alcohol.
These fraternities feel that the banning of alcohol in fraternity houses is not the answer to solve binge drinking on college campuses.
