Hm, seems a little overboard? I wonder what they are going to to with all the beer the "confiscated?" ;)

Take one down, pass it around, 997 cans of beer on the wall...:D

Seriously though, that's a lot of alcohol.

Good, I'm not the only one who was thinking that...

Actually, it's not that much if you have 196 guests in your house ;)

998 cans of beer? Is that all? And why not kegs?

LOL I immediately thought about the song too.

At my school, fraternities were not allowed to have kegs in houses; only cans. Maybe there's a similar rule in place here?

Speaking hypotetically a chapter might buy cases instead of kegs to get around insurance issues. It's easier to say that a case is your personal property that you might share with a couple of friends then a keg would be. At least that's what some chapters might do.

You've thought of that before, right? :D

With more milling around outside trying to get in.

So, about 5 beers each then?

Exactly, but that's assuming that no one had left the party yet and no one else was scheduled to show up. Seems to me they needed more. :p

I was curious to just how many college students would get "highly intoxicated" on 5 beers. Perhaps that was just half their stash.

Update: TKE HQ suspends chapter

TKE HQ has suspended the chapter at Rowan pending the results of investigations. See

998??

Okay who was the Obsessive Complusive member who fought for it to be 998 cans instead of an even 1000?

Maybe someone snuck into the party stash and stole a couple.
