With the growing problem of drug usage on college campuses today, the Fraternity passed a resolution at the biennial convention last summer stating, "As citizens we are subject to local, state and federal laws. Members who violate such laws are subject to dismissal." Last September, Fraternity President Louise Barbeck sent a letter to the parents of all members further explaining that the resolution was worded to protect members and does not necessitate automatic dismissal of members. The Key reprints excerpts of letters received from Kappa parents reacting to President Barback's letter. They are all supportive of the fraternity's position. Many parents express worry about the prevalence of drug use and are happy to see Kappa's "high moral and ethical standards."
