There are several actions taking place to stop underage college drinking.  The goal is not about prohibition, but rather “about the legal and responsible use of alcohol in the appropriate places”(Callaway 1).  Here at the University of Delaware, where sixty-two percent of the students are binge drinkers, eighteen percent above the nation average, in 1996. We received a $770,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to fight this problem (Bullard 1).  This grant is mainly intended to crack down on the fraternity’s use of alcohol to underage students. The IFC (Inter-Fraternity Conference) has also began to enforce stricter regulations for the fraternities with a three strikes and your out policy, which if broken would cause the campus’s Greek life to go dry (Cashin 12).  Going dry means that there would be no alcohol permitted anywhere on the campus regardless of age.  The Dean of students, Timothy Brooks, enforced this policy, at a meeting this past February.  The policy prohibits serving alcohol to minors, having open-campus parties, playing drinking games, and buying alcohol with chapter funds (Cormier 1).  Many people, especially parents and faculty agree that going dry is the way to go.  If there was no alcohol allowed on the campuses teachers believe that students would spend more time studying and improve their college habits (Cohen 56).  There are posters all around the campus that argue the fact of Delaware being a party school.  In the dorms the students are given the three strikes and you’re out policy ( Callaway 1).  If a student gets caught with alcohol under the age of 21 they get written up “a citation” and are forced to go to an alcohol abuse class.  Most students laugh their first strike off, but it can sometimes lead to being kicked off campus.  Other schools have stricter regulations and some are more lenient.  For example, the University of Kentucky has had alcohol-free on-campus dorms since 1988.  Random checks of the dorm rooms often occur.  If alcohol is found the student is automatically kicked off campus with no questions asked (Rabbitt 1).  Here at the University of Delaware the alcohol enforcement is run by a campus based police department not an actual county police force.  Therefore the punishments can be decided by university officials not county authorities.
