sorry, Stan
sorry, Stan, and I know it hurts to lose a good chapter.
Something the kids of today do not seem to grasp. In the movie
"Animal House" one might note booze in the house, the Delta one unkempt, general disarray.
As a product of the 50s, I can state, visiting over a hundred TKE
chapters, starting 17, we had only two chapters who were allowed to have booze at ANY function, in or out of house.. These places were okayed by college administrations to have the keggers. The snooty supper clubs at Princeton even had tabs and monthly liquor bills. Imagine today trying to collect on those! These two were Cal-Berkeley and Cornell. This is not to say we did have booze....and bear in mind, some states had 18
as legal drinking. But we did use discretion; we had guards who "watched" when we were out in the boonies. And we NEVER, ever, permitted booze in the house. A huge fine if we were caught (I was never caught).
HOWEVER, we have brought all this crap, this insurance, etc. upon ourselves. We thought it was cute to piss on the SAE lion
or to throw up on the Beta porch...cute. Our grades fell far below
the all-men's average. We expelled the housemothers. We, let
us face it, shit in our own mess kit.
Let get cleaned up..it is not a bad idea to be gentlemen again.
