dry?
Somewhere along the line I missed something...
As a field rep in the 50s, the rank and file men's groups had
no booze in the house, period.
We had no keggers, recognized, and never, ever, had booze
on our breath whilst greeting school officials or visitors.
We did not piss on the Pike porch or vomit in the Beta house.
We were expected to use DISCRETION, manners, and obey the
existing (under/over 21 laws). If we were to break these laws,
we had private gatherings, away from the house, and took our
chances. We did not flaunt it...
Risk Management and the administrative structures of colleges
have changed all this. Young people, defiant, insist on drinking
in the house, rejecting housemothers, and they have reaped the
consequences. As a Board member for decades, I will not be in
support of in-house boozing nor overtly condone underage drinking. Dumb, plain dumb. Why allow the neophytes to get
fall down drunk, and then tell the world we are responsible and
trying to educate for brotherhood.
You guys, not us old ones, are the ones who are pottying in your
chili...and it is heartbreaking to try to pick up the pieces.
