I think that the best thing I can say is that you need to take into consideration the reputation you will create for yourself at the school you will spend the next 4 to 5 (maybe even more) years LIVING at, and at the place you will make a HUGE amount of future business/career contacts.
You never know who silently monitors these boards. You don't want to walk into a situation (let's say, find a sorority you really want to join) and have the sisters saying "Oh, yeah, I remember her from that message board, she is definately not XYZ material for whatever reason," before they even got a chance to meet you.
Yes, partying and drinking and men are a big part of the fun part of college and we are all aware of this and we all take advantage of this. However, many of us are aware that we must balance our "partying" and "fun" side with our professional side so that we may have respect from our peers and future colleagues.
We treat this message board in much the same way. There are plenty of silly posts but they are balanced.
If you sound young and immature, people will treat you as such and not take you seriously.
