13: Old\ New?
I guess any way you look at it, I was in the old one. No house; no refrigerators or hotplates allowed in the dorms (no girls either, after certain hours). Study hours in effect, and one B/W TV in the lobby. But on weekends we'd tune up the guitars (we're talking P. Simon, Neil Young, America, Don McClean, Beatles, JT, Dylan, Elton) and get out the rum, tequila, etc. Even some of the professors would stop by and party with us, drink, and grub cigarettes. We had fun.
Thirty years later we still don't have a house but the chapter is strong as ever. I go back to visit and a brother with a rented house invites the actives over, but NO drinking. Okay. We head over there, and I go with them.
He greets us - Remember, NO drinking. Okay. So I go in the kitchen and grab some ice and pull my scotch out of the bag while the actives haul in cases of Bud. Then we tune up the guitars, sit on the deck, drink, sing, and have fun.
Has anything really changed? No not really. We're just slowly being forced into the closet that everyone else has succeeded in coming out of.
