Because of the problems in the area after the last two Super Bowls and the ALCS, Menino, O'Toole, the university presidents, and the student government presidents had all worked together to put out an absolute zero tolerance policy for the World Series and the Super Bowl. Streets were closed down, cops were out in riot gear, and cops were going to be patrolling everywhere making sure everything stayed calm. This was something that everyone knew about. It was said everywhere that the police would be out checking and looking for those signs. I'm sure because this was a fraternity house, it made the news. But it could have been any house and I'm sure it happened at others too.

That also contributed to it, no doubt. There has to be even more of a crackdown lately, and I've seen more police around when I've been in the area.
With the location of the house, though, the chapter had to be even more careful. If you're out by Kenmore Square, on another college's campus, you really have to be careful. You can't drink outside in Boston; it's just one of those things.
