Besides these dime drives, the council is beginning to travel to various sororities during chapter meetings to educate them about ways to prevent birth defects. The council also meets with area directors, and provides informational sheets across campus. Though only six collegiate councils, there are many high school level March of Dimes organizations called Chain Reactions. Lauren Beal staff writer University officials said all recognized fraternities must adhere to the University alcohol policy, although the groups regulate those rules differently. Every group that applies for recognition as a student organization receives a copy of the University alcohol policy, said Jon Curtis, assistant director of student activities.
Social fraternities have additional alcohol regulations.
Members must bring their own beverages to social events, guards are required for mixers, and alcohol is banned at rush functions. Greek Affairs Director Ron Binder said the social fraternity regulations were self-imposed. Binder said the social Greek organizations adopted these policies to manage risk and satisfy requirements of their national chapters. Professional and service fraternities are not ruled by this policy, but members must follow student group rules banning alcohol purchases. Howard Brubaker, director of the Student Affairs Fund Office, said the office keeps a close eye on what groups, including service and professional fraternities, buy with their funds.
