Tom, I guess it's possible that the repeated mentions of alcohol could have been tongue in cheek. However, the location of the event -- the Bear Lodge -- might suggest otherwise, since if you do Interet searches of businesses and entertainment options in Ithaca it appears on list after list of bars or bars and lounges. Maybe those listings are out of date and it is no longer a bar (I mean, after all, selling alcohol to affluent college students is probably not a solid type of business and maybe they went into something else
). Or maybe the Bear Lodge name is also used by a non-bar establishment. If it IS a bar, that is truly odd, unless a special exception was made, because Tri Delta's policies -- on their national website in the "Collegiate Corner" section say:
"No alcoholic beverages shall be served at any philanthropic events sponsored by the chapter, and as such, these events may not be held in a tavern or bar."

(This isn't just some form of Tri Delta weirdness; many other sororities have similar policies.)
As for the various sexual comments and jokes that were reported in the story, there seemed to be too many of them for those to be just slips of the tongue. One, maybe; lots, I doubt it.
But I do agree that the money raised is going to a good cause!
Was there any bad press for Tri-Delta for putting on one heck of a show for a Great Cause!
