Friday, February 26, 1999 The University Daily Kansan Section A·Page 3 Fraternity to adopt alcohol-free stance beginning in 2000 $ \Sigma A E $ to join six other KU groups in the initiative By Jamie Knodel Kansan staff writer Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity will join six other University of Kansas chapters in a new trend among fraternities: alcohol-free housing. The KU chapter of the national fraternity voluntarily will start the policy beginning in 2000. Terry Dwyer Alumni House Corporat ion president, said KU's chapter wanted to take the position rather than being forced to conform to a rule from others such as alumni, the University or national chapter policy. Jesse Van Dyke, Sigma Alpha Epsilon president and Minneapolis senior, said he expected that more chapters would start similar policies in the future. "Fraternities are much like businesses," he said. "They need to change with the times in order to survive in today's rapidly changing world." Members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity recently have adopted other policies that reflect the change in attitude. Before moving into their new house, 1301 West Campus Road, in August, members voted to establish a smoke-free environment. Members also started a policy emphasizing the responsible and limited use of alcohol within the new $3.6 million facility. Van Dyke said the fraternity members passed the policy for many reasons. These included lower liability insurance costs, increased alumni involvement and recruitment of more and better men. By making the house alcoholfree, members also believe that the house will be cleaner and safer and that the chapter will present a better image within the campus and community. Fraternity members said that there would be a transition period during which residents of the house would need to get used to the policy. "People will respect it," said Chris Baesel, Sigma Alpha Epsilon member and Wichita junior. "It won't be as big of an issue as people think it will be. It's not that big of a deal." Brendan Woodbury, Interfraternity Council vice president for education and scholarship, said Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity was the only KU chapter to have an alcohol-free policy currently in effect. In addition to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Nu, Delta Upsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, Delta Chi and Phi Delta Theta fraternities also are planning to go alcohol-free. participating in a 2-part clinical research study involving an investigational contraceptive delivery system!
