Fraternity Men & Alcohol
Social problems such as binge drinking and drug use occur in nearly every facet of society, but their presence is magnified in fraternities. NIC member organizations have dedicated countless hours, millions of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of volunteers to efforts focusing on educating members about the risks associated with alcohol and drugs.
While these accidents and tragedies are awful, we try and take these incidents and use them as examples, to learn, and to strengthen our efforts toward creating organizations that are safer and better prepared to make good men better.
The fact is, these behaviors are NOT what we are about. You may find that some of these practices are occurring on your campus. If that is the case then you should be aware that these practices are occurring outside of the knowledge of the national organization. Chapters that choose to partake in activities which are illegal or unethical are not only exposing themselves to dangerous repercussions, but also potential legal consequences.
