Some UF fraternities and sororities will face alcohol sanctions during Homecoming week after several chapters were punished for alcohol-related incidents.
Five people from each chapter in the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council must stay sober each night of Homecoming week, said Ben Caswell, president of IFC. One member of each group of five must attend a risk-management seminar.
IFC, which oversees many UF fraternities, and the Panhellenic Council, which oversees sororities, decided on the sanctions Friday night.
But Caswell said the Greek system needs more than a week's worth of rules.
"We need to talk about the next 10 years, not just the next 10 days," Caswell said.
He said the size of Greek organizations make them prone to trouble, especially since the groups are made of young people. But that's no excuse for irresponsibility, he said.
"The Zeta instance and the Pi Lam instance were two instances where we didn't live up to our standards," Caswell said.
