Like that will stop them.
It's time to move the frat-house off campus. :)
As usual, blame the fraternities is the name of the game on campuses. It would be way to easy to say the kid simply drank too much and essentially killed himself. I guarantee you, no one forced that kid to drink.
What a joke.
Hmmm ... not much reason left to attend college there.
What's up with having to "register a party"? This is nuts.
Ridiculous. Let's all stand a give a round of applause to the overabundance of lawyers who have erased the concept of personal responsibility. Every tragedy is now a winning lottery ticket, and so we must avoid doing anything fun at all so we don't risk getting sued.
Yep, we have to register parties. Basically, if there are more people in your house than there are members, you have to register it with the Center for Greek Life at least a week in advance. We are only allowed 5 "registered" parties a semester. Yep, this is what happens when parents decide to sue fraternities for their own child's poor choices.
"Otis!! My man..." :)
"Like that will stop them."
Amen! When I got out of the Navy in 72' I enrolled at MTSU in Murfreesboro, Tn. Due to the rules at that time I was REQUIRED to live in a dorm (they also tried to make me enroll in ROTC but we got that fixed) with all the 18 YO's. They made me the dorm supervisor because I was "mature" having been in the service. I gave up after about a week and just pretended I didn't see anything. They fired me after some of the guys made a bomb and blew one of the doors half way off.
Real smart. Now they will get drunk off-campus and drive back. I live in a dry county and kids have been dying in accidents for years because of the local prohibition laws.
As a former dorm counselor, trying to keep college guys from drinking is like trying to outlaw gravity.

"Wait till Otis sees us, he loved us!"
