IFC/Penhellenic

[kddani]

ummmm... i'm not even sure where to begin with this one.

1) The majority of us on here are from IFC/Panhellenic groups. So you may want to be a little politer in what you say about those groups

2) Do you think these rules were created for no reason? Do you know that you may be personally liable if something were to happen at one of your parties? Both the group as a whole and you and every other brother individually could be sued and/or criminally charged. seriously, think about that. It has happened. Refer to some other threads on this board.

2b) along the same lines, the university could also be held liable, and they're helping to cover their butts. People sue for anything and everything anymore. You don't believe me? Come take a look at my first year law school torts textbook.

3) Underage drinking is ILLEGAL. Yeah we all do it, etc. etc. I certainly did. But you're running a huge risk. It's kind of pointless to whine about not being allowed to do something that's illegal to begin with.

4) Do you have actual evidence that your school is trying to phase out locals? Or are you just assuming. If all you care about is partying, I can't say that I blame them. A lot of schools are actually turning a lot of their locals into nationals because of more structure, supervision, and regulations.

5) I'm getting the vibe that the biggest thing pissing you off here is the alcohol rules. You know, there are many other purposes to a fraternity than drinking.
6) And as much of a "pain in the ass" as it may be to you that your school has adopted IFC/Panhel rules, I'm sure there are many many reasons for it. I really doubt that the officials said, hey, let's screw sigma lambda chi.

I know it might be difficult, but take a step back and look at it from the many other points of view.
