By PAUL RAEBURN AP Science Editor The Daily Collegian Thursday, Nov. 6, 1986 " AP Laserphoto A new greek tradition Fraternities creating their own alcohol policies By VICTORIA PETTIES Collegian Staff Writer Over 25 percent of University fraternities have implemented their own alcohol policies this se mester because of pressure from their national chapters coupled with the fact that fraternities are now held liable for alcohol-related accidents. About 14 of the University's 52 fraternities have enacted their own alcohol policies, accord ing to an informal poll taken at the IFC meeting Oct. 27. Jeff Granger, president of Sigma Alpha Epsi lon fraternity, 200 E. Beaver Ave., said the fraternity's national chapter usually recom mends the fraternity mandate alcohol policies partly because of the high costs of liability suits. Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity has $500,000 in liability insurance. A fraternity's national chapter, along with the local chapter, is usually named in a liability suit. "I don't think fraternities have any other choice than to implement their own policies," Granger said. "They will need policies that go beyond those of the Interfraternity Council." Policies implemented at the fraternity include serving no alcohol over 100 proof at rush func tions, a limit on the number of beer kegs at parties and strict door policies, Granger said. Granger cited a 1981 court case in which Kappa Alpha fraternity at the University of Texas at Austin was sued for $2l million because of an alcohol-related accident. In the past, Sigma Alpha Epsilon would allow fraternity members from Kappa Delta Rho, 420 Dinner indudes &dal potato and salad buffet with fresh fruit, hot vegetables and two hot soups.

They are no longer allowing those other frater nities to attend because of the new policies, Granger said. Mike De Tommaso, president of Sigma Pi, 303 Fraternity Row, said "many fraternity houses feel uneasy with the whole issue of liability." `I don't think fraternities have any other choice than to implement their own policies.... They will need policies that go beyond those of the Interfraternity Council.' "Right now there are too many houses doing their own thing," De Tommaso said. "Many of the houses are relying on IFC bylaws to protect them because they do not have the strong back ing such as alumni support to give the chapter some direction." IFC bylaws require that no beer kegs be tapped after 2 a.m., that guests must present University identification at the door and that alternative beverages be served at parties. super 'it Steak a 5449 —Jeff Granger, president Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity 7986 Ponderosa. Inc. "Houses are going to have to take a step themselves and not solely rely on IFC bylaws," De Tommaso said. Sigma Pi implemented alcohol policies includ ing: prohibiting loitering around the bar area, refusing to serve intoxicated people and serving a guest one beer at a time. De Tommaso said requiring fraternities to request identification for 2i years of age will "simply open up another can of worms." He said he believes "not many of the social fraternities would support such a ruling" and, if passed, it would be hard to enforce because it would be impossible for IFC to monitor all of the fraterni ties. IFC Vice President Jeff Peters, chairman of the Alcohol Research Committee, said the com mittee will present a set of alcohol-related rec ommendations to IFC this semester. Peters said many national chapters have rec ommended their University chapter implement alcohol policies. Alpha Gamma Rho, 322 Fraternity Row, and Delta Theta Sigma, 101 N. Patterson St., require all people attending parties to be at least 21 years old. Mike Kuhns, president of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, said his fraternity does not check identification of fellow members or little sisters. Kuhns said checking for identification "is what all fraternities are on the verge of doing." Craig Williams, president of Delta Theta Sig ma, said "frternities should not place a heavy emphasis on the social aspect of fraternities since they are suppose to stand for brotherhood."
