Greek social rule nice, but not enough to matter

Alcohol has been the center of controversy in the Greek system for many years.

Now the Panhellenic Council is trying to forbid women in sororities to attend Greek social events where alcohol is served.

While that's a noble idea, our question is how the council plans on enforcing it.

Through many stipulations, the rule almost goes to the point of saying women in sororities can't be around alcohol at all.

Sorority members who are of age cannot have alcohol in their rooms, unlike their male counterparts.

Gotta love those double standards.

The social part of the Greek system is one of the most important ­ whether alcohol is present or not.

Marshall can't even punish a sorority caught breaking the rule.

We understand that the Greek system is trying to change its image from parties to community service.

But what's the real value of having a written rule if there's no one to enforce it?

It's just not worth the paper it's written on.
