And of course, the alcohol ban for Greek organizations worked just as well as WE knew it would. Unbelieveable that it was the SAME house (Delta Sigma Phi) that was caught violating it :eek:
http://www.dentonrc.com/local-news/l...-sigma-phi.ece Now the Delta Sigma Phi chapter has been suspended. |
Surprise of the century.
I went back and reread the original article about the ban. It says that it doesn't apply to members who drink at their homes. I wonder how they plan to handle members who live in? ETA: Also, I'm hoping that the powers that be realize that 2 incidents occurring at the same house in a relatively short period of time does not equal a problem with the entire Greek system. |
If the original article is correct in its claim that alcohol is banned at fraternity and sorority functions, events, formals, parties, etc., then it doesn't seem as though the recent behavior violated that. I guess it depends on the wording of the original ban.
I'm trying to work some of this stuff out in my head. If these kids had not consumed this alcohol (yet... we know they were probably going to, but for the sake of hypothetical situations), a 21 year old had bought it, and they were just carrying it from the car to the house for the 21 year old, is that really a minor in possession? Like, if I buy beer while grocery shopping and my son carries it in the house for me, is that MIP? What about 18 year old bartenders and waitresses who pour and deliver alcohol all the time? Is simply holding a bottle truly being a minor in possession? |

Wow. In Michigan and New York, you can do both at 18.
|
Some states go with the arbitrary age of 19, which is weird.

I'm terribly late with this news, but the alcohol ban was lifted: http://ntdaily.com/university-lifts-...e-alcohol-ban/
The alcohol issue did have something to do with Delta Sig's suspension, but again, there were a few additional issues. The alcohol- and in particular underage drinking- was just the last straw. |
Don't kids get drunk and fall off balconies all the time - not necessarily in fraternity houses? Are they going to ban multistorey student housing next?
