The Purdue Interfraternity Council also approved this measure. All sororities at Purdue maintain alcohol-free housing. As a result, the houses are very impressive, clean, and well-kept. For a brief time in the early 1970's, some Purdue sororities hosted parties with alcohol in their houses. After living conditions declined and the houses got messed up, the corporation boards renewed the alcohol-free housing requirement.
Many people think alcohol-free housing is a new concept.
It is not. There are three NPC fraternities whose policies provide for superior support to the NIC fraternities and individual chapters that have committed to alcohol-free housing. Organizations must follow the policy that is more strict between their national organization and the Purdue Panhellenic policy.
