Is alcohol a problem in fraternities?
Alcohol is considered a problem on almost every college campus in the country. Fraternities, under intense scrutiny of campus administrations everywhere since the mid-1980s, have extensive risk management plans in place and simply don’t have the luxury of throwing the big wild parties they are often stereotyped for. Fraternities also attend public seminars and workshops to better understand the dangers of substance abuse. And finally, anything that happens with one member becomes the responsibility (both morally and legally) of the entire chapter. Men of fraternities are probably more likely to act responsibly in these situations than not.
