beer in the house?

[Erik P Conard]

naw, TKE has no policy on alcohol and I think if we did we'd be
hypocrites...In '57-'60 only 2 TKE chapters had legal access to booze...Cal-Berkeley was allowed keg in front yard on Fri aft., &
Cornell had "liquor cabinet" and "liquor bill." All others were not
allowed, only if school would put it in writing...would TKE okay it.
So...yes, we damned well had booze, lots of it. But not in the
house. Good booze, too, not cheap crap. But we used discretion
and did not try to get the girls blotto to deflower them, either.
Beer is bad deal in house, not only for interrupting study hours, but emotion, drunks, messy place...we had pride in that virtually
anyone could enter our house, anytime, and find it reasonably
clean. We had pledge duties, too, to keep up place and it was never considered hazing. Even the Dean Wormers could come and visit and find no fault. But we still had plenty to drink and I
was, perhaps, the biggest drinker of all. BUT, never out of hand,
and if one was...he'd catch hell in next chapter meeting. If we'd
all work at DISCRETION...we'd likely cut our risk management fees
in half. Whaddya say? I say behave or be gone. Sharpen up, be
cool...bein' a drunk will get you fired when you get out in the world...and if we Greeks truly want to offer a good life experience,
we will figure out a way...won't we? Uncle Erik, kindly Uncle Erik
