In my opinion, that should be a policy at individual chapters that
support it.

You are correct, there is no reason it MUST be present. However, I
would hazard a reply to you that there is no good reason why it MUST be
absent either. Not showing alcohol in front of underage people and
pledges is good, but when a brother just wants to have a drink (and
(s)he is legal), let it happen. Most know how to drink responsibly. If
the person acts unbrotherly, then make _that_ an issue...not the
alcohol.

If you flame my opinion you will be summarily ignored!
