3. People are so paranoid of letting loose on campus they think they can "get away" with it at an off campus venue. This is almost as stupid as thinking you can get with someone's boyfriend during spring break when you're all on the same trip that was scheduled through your student activities office.
4. Pregaming isn't new. The amount of it is. Our pregaming was (at the hardest) a couple shots of peach Schnapps or a few beers...not a whole bottle of SoCo.
5. Chicks are anorexic and don't eat and can't hold their liquor.

Cosign 4 and 5 especially. I'm in the minority of people I know on campus, Greek or not, that has no problem going to a party sober. SO MANY people I know are like, "there's no way I'm going to go if I'm not drunk it won't be fun otherwise".
I'm not sure when the whole "you have to be drunk to have fun" mentality got to the point it is at now, but in Lexington at least, pregaming is a a bigger deal than the actual event!
Also, yeah, you have to EAT SOMETHING and know your limits, too.
Kids these days...
