Greek houses reducing high-risk drinking
BY MARTHA STODDARD / Lincoln Journal Star
Finding fraternity beer bashes used to be easy for James Griesen.
Years ago, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln vice chancellor for
student affairs could simply stroll over to 16th Street on a Friday
night and follow the trail of sorority women.
Not anymore, though.
They haven't reduced squat. Everyone who drank before the rules, still drinks. They just don't do it in the open. Instead of drinking on 16th Street where the chancellor can keep his eye on them they drive out to a cornfield and get drunk and then they drive home. How does that reduce high risk? Some kid that has had a few too many will eventually run into a stray cow that is crossing the street.
If all these new rules are working then how come the insurance rates are going up?
The new rules just make problems worse.
