I hope this isn't too paranoid, but it seems to me that this may be the beginning of what could be a huge reaction to the indictments of the university officials at Rider.
Five chapters in a very short time seems more than coincidence.
Most of you know, though, that my opinion has been for quite some time that what happened at Rider was inevitable given the increase in litigation and the widening of those who are named in suits in recent years.
Those of you who read this forum back when I was moderator know that I also believe that it would be good to lower the drinking age (for beer only, maybe?) to eighteen -- but until that happens our chapters have to obey the law or risk closing.
It's not enough to say that college students are going to drink no matter what. While that's true, corporate entities such as our chapters can't afford to be part of illegal activities. Which is what underage drinking (and also hazing) are -- illegal.
