No one would even go if we had to do that. They'd just go to a club!

(By we I'm referring to the Greek Community as a whole on my campus. I've never heard any sorority/fraternity member mention having to board a bus for her/his formal or any other event except a grab-a-date to Orlando. Also, I'm not referencing the risk-management aspects, just the different methods of transportation that is required for different chapters.)
Welllll get ready for it. We always drove ourselves too, and made sure there was a DD driving the drunk girls. Last year Nationals started making the girls take a bus... which is retarded because we're commuter so they'll just have to drive to wherever from the school. But those who make the rules are more educated in risk management, so I guess it's a better idea than having the girls drive.

I'm curious how you have yours in a hotel without the big-ups saying anything. We were never allowed to.
