At Ball State University our campus went dry this year. I spent three years on this campus where we were not dry and now one year where were are dry. To tell you the truth I party just as much if not more then I did. I can actually find more parties then I could before we went dry.

I think my biggest concern is safety. When the Frat's had parties there was security, DD's, sober monitors, and when you walked in you had to show your college ID and sign in so that they knew who was in their house. Now I go to the same parties just at houses where random people can walk in and there is no control.

Just in general I felt a lot safer before and I have been to more parties this year where an emergency has happened where there was no one to take care of that individual then when I was at the Frat houses.

Last week I was at a (Frat) house party where a brother got a so drunk he stopped breathing. There were some student athletic trainers there who took care of the problem and he is fine but in the papers there was no mention of it because they just figured it was a house party but if only the paper would have known it was a Frat party they would have raised all hell in the newspapers.
