Beer vending machine
 

Was very surprised today to see a beer vending machine at the Triangle House at Rose Hulman.I.T. in Hoosierland.

Cold beer for a dollar. Visible from the front door.

Guess they don't have much of a risk management problem there.

WHAAAT, unless the machine is advanced with fingerprint ids that can look up year of birth that is a stupid and very dangerous idea.

i LOVED the beer vending machines in europe!!!! usually they were also right next to a condom vending machine and a cigarette vending machine (all in one stop type thing!)

They should have slammed an empty keg over your head for tresspassing.

Agreed!

It is probably an excellent source of revenue. It's their business, and if they are adult enough to handle it properly, then more to them.

I wish we had one.....

And the post about the vending machines in Europe....AWESOME!

i like reading this risk managemen stuff..:D

One of the 10 fraternities on our campus (not sure how many of them actually have houses, but anyway) has beer in their vending machine... it's only one of the slots and is a mere 40 cents. It's also always the cheapest beer the store has to offer.

Um, it's IN their house. Do you think that they just let randoms walk through their house? :rolleyes:

Let's not jump to conclusions. Hoosier said it was visible through the front door.

Unfortunately, this does have potential Risk Management problems written all over it -- as well as liability insurance increases.

Unless this is a super-human chapter, who wants to argue that they will absolutely and totally enforce underage drinking laws?

The Europeans are so much more advanced than us, damn them.

Hoosier, Hoosier, from what I have read, on this thread, it sounds like you Broke and entered?

Hm, amazing how it gets from seeing through the front door to trespassing!

When is it so wrong to stop by other Greek Houses??

LXA is not the only house I have ever been in, anyone else?

It is usually nice to keep up some form of Greek Relationships by some.

As DeltaAlum said, this could have Risk Management written all over it!:(

Beer vending machines? I must live in a cave...never heard of it!!! Would be nice though :)

When it is not your house, you don't know anyone there and you were not invited.

He doesn't stop in houses anyway. He sneaks around peeping through the windows.

Well Hoosier shouldn't be sneaking around...

BUT

Now we all know that there is an unrestricted source for alcohol in a fraternity that's breaking the law.

Again, the risk is there and it was exposed and that sucks and now they should manage the issue.

Whether it's racist acts, violent threats against another fraternity member and defending your own brother by insulting the victim, or having a beer machine, the risks are unacceptable and I'm sure they are smart enough to handle it well.

I just want to remind you all that hoosier has trespassed on various fraternity properties in an attempt to find any excuse to say "This is a bad chapter", according to his ridiculous, outdated criteria of what a fraternity should be....

If Triangle has been able to control that situation without any hostility from the community or the school, then why should anyone hate on that.
