I have a question about Fraternities...I recently joined one...?

Question

I'm kinda worried bc I dont drink, and if I do, it's just like a couple beers and thats it. I don't like drinking, but I went to this frat initiation thing and there was a TON of drinking. What should I do? I joined it for the whole brotherhood/friendship thing, not to become an alcoholic.

Answer 1

Most houses can not force you to drink as according to their national rules and the rules on campus. Just politely say you don't drink. My house had sober brother which was nice case there was a needed beer run and a couple of my pledge brothers stopped drinking and doing drugs during pledging and the brothers of the house were cool with it

Answer 2

Then don't drink. You'll be happy that you didn't when you're older. If you feel that you have to "be like the others" then drink slowly and hide that you don't drink as much as they do. They'll probably be impressed by how much you can drink without getting drunk.
