2. About Alcohol

     When alcohol is served at fraternity functions, peace officers are normally hired to limit entry to invited guests. A state-issued identification is checked to determine age. Persons over the minimum legal drinking age have identifying wrist bands attached that cannot be removed without destroying them. Younger persons have their hand marked. Only persons with proof of age are served alcoholic beverages. Non-drinking drivers are designated to be available to insure safe transportation of members and guests who have been drinking.

     The legal possession and consumption of alcohol is permitted in the lodge, just as it is in apartments and houses.

     Although social drinking can be enjoyable, this fraternity is not about drinking, and drinking is not required for participation, enjoyment, and benefit from it. Many years we have some brothers who are what used to be called "teetotalers", guys who drink no alcohol.

     All initiates of the fraternity are required to complete a comprehensive online alcohol danger awareness program that is made available via the national headquarters.
