No Man Is Above The Law

The law is specific. Underage drinking is prohibited. The underage who consume alcohol are breaking the law, and there is no place in Sigma Nu for lawbreakers. Any member in this fraternity that fails to uphold the law is subject to losing its charter, having its officers removed from office and brought to trial for possible suspension or expulsion, as is any other individual member who breaks the law. Likewise, those of age who consume alcohol to the extent of intoxication are subject to similar penalties.

If our brothers ever choose to drink and drive, we face devastating consequences by risking not only our lives but the lives of others, potentially ruining an opportunity for a promising future for ourselves and others. Driving under the influence (DUI) is also against the law, and state legislatures are increasing restrictions by lowering acceptable blood alcohol levels. The result is a sharp increase in DUI prosecutions, which entail not only heavy fines and jail terms, but loss of driver's license and confiscation of one's vehicle.
