True--back in the "purple haze" days of the '70's, we did all sorts of stuff that would now get our butts kicked off campus for 5 years.
The norm at that time: Parties where 10 kegs were lined up (and drained) by 300+ Greeks in a basement that probably would've been sanctioned to hold 100 people. Been there, did that, actually remember some of it...
The norm today: BYOB parties where sign-in sheets are turned in to Greek Affairs and attached to the event request form (w/copies going to the particular GLO's IHQ).
Is one better than the other? Not necessarily...however, it would be interesting to see research on how many alcohol-related deaths happened back in the "good old days" vs. today. I don't recall hearing about any during my UG days--could this be because of "binge-drinking"?
