Paying for alcohol: do you, don't you, and getting around it.

Actually with my chapter, alcohol isn't allowed on the premise. It might be so strict because our campus is dry or that my chapter is just picky on that rule. Also all our events are dry, meaning no alcohol on location. What you do before hand is a different matter. If you turn up plastered you aren't allowed to go and have to be sober at the next event. You are tied to your date so if he shows up drunk then neither of you are allowed to go and he isn't allowed to return to another function. Oh and this is drunk meaning being sick or noticeably drunk.

We are actually having a social tomorrow so interesting topic to turn up right now.

All 14 state owned PA universities are dry. However, the Greek houses are not on campus so as far as that's concerned it's a moot point. "Dry campus" just means you don't have a bar on campus or can't have alcohol in your dorm room. Solution: move off campus ASAP. Plus a "wet campus" doesn't mean 18-20 year olds can drink.

Oh, and she said with her chapter. She didn't say that they can't go to a fraternity house or a sister's apartment off campus and get crocked. No offense, just calling a spade a spade.

My campus allowed students who were of age to have alcohol in their dorms/apartments. I know that many Greek houses are dry, but I would cause a ruckus if I couldn't drink a beer in my dorm room if I wanted to.

That was the reason for my "yikes"

I yiked, too.

At my school the residence halls (dorms) were dry, even if you were 21, but the apartments were wet.

We were allowed to have alcohol in our dorm room as long as we were 21. And if a person under the age of 21 lived with you, there could only be one open container in the room at one time.

Penn State (and its various campi) isn't state owned - it's state affiliated. (Along w/ Pitt, Temple & Lincoln.) Subtle but important difference.

No NPC sororities are "allowed" to have alcohol in the chapter houses and or official dwellings or spaces.

I was referring to fraternities, I should have clarified.
