The administration, for the most Aire part, encourages students to choose their own social life, and part of this process at Allegheny inevitably involves decisions about drinking. Fraternity parties are an undeniable part of the Allegheny social life; each person is faced with the responsibility and right to decide how they will handle a situation where alcohol is avail- able in an almost unlimited supply.
