Grand Valley State University president calls fraternity, sorority alcohol ban proactive

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Grand Valley State University President Thomas Haas said the alcohol ban on all fraternity and sorority events imposed Wednesday, Oct. 31 is an educational opportunity.

"If there are behaviors, like with alcohol, that are precipitating negative consequences for our students and their safety, I am going to step in,'' Haas told MLive/The Grand Rapids Press Friday, Nov. 2.
