While I agree with most things said, we as Alums all know that alcohol is on the minds of all nationals and that is why they are going to Dry houses.
Let's get serious, there will be alchol at partys but how is it taken care of?
I rode one weekend with the designated driver to pick up Brothers of legal age who could not drive. !!! This is something that was started 3 years ago and I find it refreshing that someone would stay at the house to do this. It was explained to them, that it was better to have Des. Driver than carry the casket to the ground!
I find nothing wrong with alchol as I was in the Business for 22 years at all levels excet a bar business. The main thing is how it is used and how much. If to the detriment then I say No.
These young people are on their own for the first time and get a lot crazy. The older , maybe a year or 2 must guide them. It is not the first time they ever had the evil spirits as most partied in HS where it was great to get drunk and stupid. They soon learn that they are looked at with a jaundiced eye and will not be around long because
Lets admit folds the reason you go to college is to learn and graduate so you can work the rest of you lives. If not you are flipping burgers or greasing a car or mowing lawns, digging a ditch. Some steam has to be blown off and it is better you are with your Brothers/Sisters who can take care of you or on you own where you may caus a death, yours or someone elses.
The intolerence today has become a rebellion point an I will show them. That is where the problem stems!
As you see i never edit! I say in my heart!
