To: O.C. - Old Cracker
Officials at CU have been meeting with Greek officials since Bailey's death...
and: We...are continuing to work with the fraternity and sorority leaders to assess all aspects of Greek life, including the role of alcohol in social activities," CU spokeswoman Pauline Hale said in a release Wednesday.

Huh!? What am I missing? Why do CU officials think an appropriate response to this tragedy is to meet with Greek officials and assess Greek life?

Anybody get whatever it is that's going over my head, here?

Also, as someone who never was affected by peer pressure all that much, I wonder why those young people didn't just simply refuse to drink all that booze. Why not just drink a little, or none, and dump the rest down a gutter somewhere. Or, better yet, have a little gumption and say you just aren't going along with such a stupid stunt.

One year one of our pledges told us he was a recovering alcoholic. That was it - no booze for him EVER. Now we gave him some prune juice and buttermilk to sip on, but we certainly didn't hold a gun to his head to get him to drink it.
