Non-alcoholic weeks are a standard part of being in a Greek organization. A non-alcoholic week also known as “Dry Week” may be set as a rule due to any number of things. Recruitment for one, is dry for a number of reasons, firstly the Dean of Student Affairs does not want any current members to drink with potential new members in hopes of steering away from the stereotypes of typical Greeks.
A second occasion is Greek Week; this is a week full of sporting events and performances put on by each individual organization. The week is intended to promote Greek unity there for drinking throughout the week is prohibited.
Lastly, any and all official events put on by either a fraternity or sorority is strictly dry unless a third party vendor serves alcohol. This rule usually surprises outsiders that are unfamiliar with the Greek system. Many stereotypes of fraternities and sororities involve alcohol, however with such strict rules, alcohol is rarely a part our events.
