I commend the ISU fraternity system’s Party Evaluation Team. It is refreshing to see a young group of adults taking alcohol consumption and underage drinking seriously.

Underage drinking and binge drinking are serious problems across the state and nation.

Binge drinking is linked to 1,400 college student deaths per year, as well as injuries, rapes, assaults, unsafe sex and poor academic performance.

Efforts like this go a long way toward discouraging underage drinking and educating younger members of fraternities by letting them know you can have fun at a party without alcohol.
