You have no experience with any of these issues. You are still in high school and not Greek. You have no understanding of risk management. It would be in your best interest to stop throwing around uninformed opinions now before things come back to bite you later.

OleMissGlitter, Tippiechick?

Am I reading this correctly? Liquor and wine are allowed in houses, but beer and 'light wine' are illegal?

WTH is 'light wine' anyway? I went to college in a dry county (Arkansas State). We had plenty of alcohol on campus, but I have never heard of 'light wine'.

I've never heard of that (light wine) either, and we drank pretty much everything.

Light colored wine, maybe?

I am pretty sure "light wine" refers to wine coolers. You are correct about the other too. You can have liquor and wine in the houses if you are 21, at least that is how I have interpreted the Alcohol Policy. However, it cannot be a common source and it is suppose to stay locked up when not in use. The same goes for the Ole Miss Grove on football game days. You cannot have beer in the Grove. But go figure you can fix yourself a bourbon and coke and drink away. I think it is because part of our campus is within city limits and part of our campus is out of city limits. I know in the Grove now on football game day, most people have locks on their ice chests/coolers, and that way they aren't considered a "common source."

Oh! That's what that was all about. I thought that people were of afraid it getting stolen.

Yeah, that always struck me as weird that whenever I went to Ole Miss for a game I could wander around with a bottle of bourbon but wasn't allowed to have a beer. That's a pretty screwy alcohol law, but I have heard that the reason they made that law was to keep people from having kegs at their tailgates.

From the article that was posted:

"Under the university’s alcohol policy, only liquor and wine are allowed on campus; beer and light wine are not allowed on campus."

Is it normal for a university to ban only certain types of alcohol on campus (you will have to forgive me Texas Tech was a dry campus)?

I concur. That's the way I understand it...
