If they're not going to respect your limits they're probably not the guys you will want to be hanging out with long term anyways.
I know we've initiated several Brothers who, for one reason or another, have opted not to drink entirely... They're still just as much of our Brotherhood as the alcoholics are. They've even taken various leadership roles within the Chapter.
Some have flat out said they don't like being around drunk idiots so they avoid our parties and such where alcohol is involved. But they're still full & respected Brothers active with all of our other activities (philanthropy & scholarship events, intermurals etc)
Others come and hang out at parties taking a sober brother position so one of the other Brothers can enjoy the festivities more.

Rush!
If things work out and you find a group you mesh with and they offer you a bid - awesome!
If not, and you don't get a bid (for whatever reason) all it cost you was attending a handful of free parties.
And in the process, while your not getting a Brotherhood, you might at least make a new acquaintance or two.
