Wow. That's a lot of freakin' bullshit.

Sounds like the owners of those private clubs are probably on the county board.

Some of them are. But, the counties vote whether they are wet or dry. It has a lot to do with being in the Bible Belt. Also, except for the counties where Fayetteville (U of A) and Little Rock ( UALR), all counties that have a college located in them voted themselves dry.

But, in Jonesboro (ASU), the counties above and below us were 'wet'. Both were about 15 minutes away and had liquor stores within 20 feet of the county line. You would walk through the house and tell people that you were "Runnin' to the line." People would either go with you or give you money and a list of what to buy.

Wait...there aren't even any liquor stores in the county?

What planet are these people from? I'm not a huge drinker as of late- I probably have a total of 20 drinks a year - but I like to know that when I want a beer, I can go have one, be it in a restaurant, bar, or one I purchased at the gas station down the street.

No liquor stores. No beer, wine, or liquor is sold anywhere except in the private clubs. And, we had to be careful about bringing it from one county to the other. If you had too much, you were bootlegging. I can't remember what the amount was, but we always had to be careful. Sometimes the county sheriff would set up road blocks to check how much alcohol was being brought in.

At Indiana University most of the bars are on a street called Kirkwood. The main greek bar is Kilroys on Kirkwood, mainly because it's so easy for underagers to get in. It gets really crowded with pink polos and stupid freshman so non-greeks go to places a little more relaxed like Upstairs. A bar called nicks is right accross the street where you can play Sink the Biz. Fun Stuff...

Since there really is not much to do in Las Cruces, most students (Greeks and non Greeks) go to the Strip in Juarez, Mexico. And there is also Hurrican.

We did have a place called the Brew but it closed due to some new law

Stack's really wasn't my hangout - I was more of a Harry's kind of girl. But I loved the Green Dragons and Roadkill Fries at Stack's!

Illusions?? I've been there once and it was EMPTY.. Last year the BIG Greek hangout was Lizard, this year I'm definitely gonna go with Envy (atleast to spot Alpha Phi, DG, Phi Sig, Sig Ep, and Phi Psi).

I looooove Kilroy's on Kirkwood.

I take it they're no longer asking for 2 forms of ID to get in? (Then again, there were many times I went and was never asked for ID at all - go figure!) Is Sports still packed all the time, too?

Well I'm usually wasted when I go so I don't know how many ID's they ask for. And yes Sports is always packed mainly because of their drink specials. Wednesdays are great $2.50 whatever the hell you want. Kilroy's on Kirkwood has 2 beer pong tables now which is nice for happy hour. Kilroys also has Bladder Busters which is you go with a group of people and beers are like 50 cents until someone in your group uses the restroom...I love Bloomington.

Yea, my heart belongs to Harry's but when all the girls went out we always went to stacks to make an appearance and then ended up at Harry's hopefully in the fish bowl....my favorite memory at Harry's are all the Friday afternoon's I was suppose to be in class and instead I was at Harry's eating the popcorn

The Kollege Klub (the KK) was the "greekest" bar on campus at UW-Madison, and I believe it still is.

Damn near every Greek girl I know at WVU has gone out to Illusions with sisters. They go in flocks. The other bars (without a dress code or a minimum age of 21), is comprised of Z, Chasers, and Shooters. However this is merely my observation.

I don't know that there was one particular place where Greeks congregated at Iowa State. It was more differentiated by what you wanted to do.

Get drunk and dance: go to Sips.
Get drunk and dance and probably go home with multiple communicable diseases: go to Dean's List.
Listen to live music: go to People's.
Chill and drink or play pool/darts: go to Paddy's or Mickey's.
Pretend you were cosmopolitan: go to MoJazz.
Hang with the old-timers: go to Cy's, Lost & Found or Welch Ave.
Hang with the townies: go to Whiskey River or Tip Top.
Drink underage: go to Thumbs.

I preferred People's, Paddy's and Mickey's.
