May be too late. Seems like "butt chugging" is already being associated with Tennessee. Then again, this too shall pass.

As an OBTW, I hope I can assume that you meant to say "if HE was a stand up guy". After all, it would violate my most firmly held philosophy best expressed by the late W.C. Fields: "A man's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink"!

Evidently, she does not beleive in absorbsion of booze to the system as in osmosis?

I have heard of stupid things, but this is really the cherry on the cake, dar.
Any way you cut the cake, it is inane.

I guess my question is why do they do this?

Regarding the T-shirts...say it ain't so.

Ah well, not surprised really. I had heard there were unflattering bumper stickers seen in Athens and Oxford. The shirts were bound to follow.

As you said, this too shall pass.

It will, won't it?

No matter what, I will always love my Tennessee Vols.

It will pass. If you had told me when I was there that KA and Kappa Sig would end up getting shut down, I would have never have believed it.

Pike and FIJI will both be back eventually.

Many of the members/pledges of the Pi Kappa Alpha chapter have appeared in court. Article that tells about their sentences.

How awesome not for them -- now when they try for internships or jobs, and their names are run through the Google meter, they will pop up with a connection to the butt chugging incident. What a regrettable night for all involved. I wonder how many times they have wished they had made other plans that night? I'm curious what the present relationship is between brothers at the house that night and those who were weren't. I know the press conference gave the appearance of support, but it's only human that there would be hard feelings among those who were not involved, but lost their undergrad involvement and saw their fraternity made a global laughing stock.

The presser gave the appearance of at least one alumnus who is completely out of touch with what is best for his chapter. So stupid on so many levels, not the least of which was that it prolonged the story remaining in the news.

What I have a hard time with is why anyone would want to put anything up their butts!
