There was a story in the Maneater last year that said that since the campus "went dry" MUPD figures show that drunk driving incidents have tripled.
It be nice if they were more concerned with teaching college students to be responsible in their actions, rather then just being concerned with being politically correct and being dry.

When you say 'go dry' do you mean alcohol is not allowed on campus? Your post also seems to insinuate there is no alcohol training available to students, is this true?
If so, that's absolute bullsh*t. I hate when schools turn drinking into this big taboo that you can't talk about. Students drink. Let's face the facts here.
Come on, they can be all about "drinking underage is illegal and wrong", but teach the kids the Bacchus position (the position you put your friend in so they don't drown in their puke), teach them the signs of alcohol poisoning. Teach them to take keys away from their friend and what services there are if they are too drunk to drive.
I learnt all this the very first day I lived in residence. Most of it I knew already, but the fact is that we went over it, so that even if we didn't drink, we knew how to handle someone who does.
Personally I think the drinking age should be 18 - that's when you are an adult right? Better to drink in public where there are people to help you when you get too drunk, then in private, where no one know where to do or when they need to get you to a hospital.....
But realistically, I'd just be happy with mandatory alcohol training in all university orientations.

I was really pulling for them and hoping they did better this year during formal rush, but hopefully they can get some great women with COB! So congrats to all the ladies and new members of sororities at Mizzou! This recruitment was hell, but we survived and now everyone is happy in their new homes. Bid day was a blast! Our new girls are so freakin' gorgeous, I am kind of intimidated haha. But they're such sweethearts and I am so pumped for the school year now!!! We're going to do like 2 or 3 COB events to try and get like maybe 5 or so more members, and I will be sure to let yall know if we do! 
Thanks for all your nice words guys, I really appreciate it! 
but it all worked out in the end.
