I am with you ZZ-kai, and of course would defer to the knowledge of a chapter alumnus in any case.
The Loving Cup reference bothered me- that is not secret, but it is ritual in nature and had no place as part of some drinking game.
But there is no worse sign you can send to the world about the ability to self-govern than to let 2 pledges get to near fatal levels of intoxication on their first night as a part of our organization.
This brings forth the issue of forced drinking versus choice. In general I do believe each person is responsible for their own drinking, but how could anyone defend the fact these young men while in a state of what must have been obvious severe intoxication were allowed to keep on drinking?
The fact they were drinking at all certainly gives rise to many legal and RM issues, but putting the law aside and looking at common sense and brotherly care- there was just no excuse for this getting where it did.
I am glad everyone is alive.
