the way PSU is running the new enforcement model is NEVER going to work. You cant put more rules in place and just expect everyone to play along. This is all going to end badly for PSU and they should try to distance themselves from frats
FC another PSU fraternity suspended alcohol involved

You can't legislate your way past human behavior. No matter how strict PSU makes its underage drinking rules, future incidents are going to happen that involve serious injury or death. Then what?
The same thing applies to the gun control crowd. Sure, we can make gun laws more and more strict. We can even make all guns illegal. But there will still be a mass shooting sometime in the future. Then what?
There was a DTD crest on the outside of the fireplace (far left in the photo) that was hidden by a large pine tree. When we had to take down the pine tree since it was damaging the foundation, we replaced it with our crest. I was there early/mid 80s so I'm curious if your buddy was a brother there during that time?!
Agreed. My son dreamed of going to Penn State, but was unable to because it is cost prohibitive for him as an out of state student. Although he is loving Mizzou, the success of the football team last year had him thinking of what might have been. After visiting for Pitt weekend, I told him he's not missing out on much since the party scene at PSU has gone waaaayyyy down hill.

I believe this kid was 18, so it's likely he is living in East Halls. Freshmen crossing campus to the fraternities to party, and then trying to negotiate their way back to their dorm while drunk, is a longtime tradition in University Park. But it certainly has its downside, as this incident illustrates. I hope he was not seriously injured.
Each fraternity should have a well established - and articulated - policy that encourages excessively inebriated live out members to remain at the Chapter House for the evening. It is difficult to enforce, but some attempt should be made to protect the welfare of members.

I have no idea what this means or what it has to do with my post that you quoted, LOL
Thank you!!!!! I rest my case. : ^ )
Jammies were the ultimate little kid in a candy store Fraternity Party that was so common at Penn State on Friday and Saturday nights in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Makes anything that goes on at Penn State right now look like some kind of quiet church school get together.
Three Fraternities would get together, hire a band, fill the house with hot, beautiful women and great music, give out free beer on tap, and party like there was no tomorrow. Simply amazing that with all those people, and all that dancing and jumping around, that some of the floors didn't collapse in some of those old Fraternity Houses.
Must have been a 100 to 1 ratio (maybe a slight exaggeration, but not much) girls to guys ratio. Absolute utopia if you were an 18 to 21 year old male. Some of those Houses must have had 500 or more people in them, and that's probably low balling the number in a lot of cases. Today, we would have all been arrested and sent to jail so fast your head would spin.
You youngsters don't know what you missed!!!! : ^ )
True. Too bad they couldn't reproduce the atmosphere of crossing parking lot 80 to East Halls in the mid 80's in Jan. & Feb. Now that was something to be proud of....if you made it.
