A lot of campuses across the country have already become dry, and there has been recent discussion of enacting such a restriction at Drake. I think instead of taking away the substance we should learn how to use the substance responsibly. I would like to see what would happen if sororities went wet. It seems unfair and unjust that fraternities get to drink. Montgomery said more research and evaluation needs to be done but said she can see the benefits of a substance-free campus.
Students continue to drink or even binge drink on dry campuses.
But I don't foresee that ever happening. I would say there needs to be a lot of conversation about it beforehand. Montgomery said some of the advantages include safety reasons. She said research has shown students in substance-free chapters have higher GPAs, tend to be more involved, have lower behavioral problems and meet the overall values of the chapter. Montgomery said it would be getting back to what fraternity is, getting back to its roots.
