Some of the morays have held on. when i was in school, i remember asking the question, "why is it that whenever i walk into a fraternity there's alcohol everywhere and there's no alcohol in a sorority? why is it that sororities won't allow alcohol, but fraternities do? what is that?" you know, nobody had a really good answer, and that's kind of held on. it's one of the issues that's being examined now - the role of alcohol in sexual assault.
