But I hope he knows he's risking a ruined career! The more Greeks speak out on stuff like this, the more credibility they lose. Good for fratboy. But I hope he knows he’s risking a ruined career!

Good thing you're not a raging stereotype, fratboy. “Only retard houses get caught.”

Good thing you’re not a raging stereotype, fratboy.

My house doesn't care what stupid laws they University passes. Only retard houses get caught having parties. It's called knowing how to plan a party. So survival of the fittest. Our house had its boom year with the Alcohol Moratorium. That’s funny. My house doesn’t care what stupid laws they University passes. Only retard houses get caught having parties.

Everyone knows that drinking when you're under 21 is illegal. Otherwise it wouldn't be called UNDERAGE drinking. It is part of any college experience (with a few exceptions) to go to at least a party or two, even when one is underage and even when one is not at a "party school." Forcing the problem underground does not eliminate the problem. In fact, this will only create a greater problem. Believe it or not, most fraternities are somewhat controlled. I hear of more hospitalizations from people drinking in the dorms than I do from people drinking at fraternities. I don't know for sure if this is the case, but this is what I have observed. Think about the implications of such a shift from fraternity parties to house/apartment/dorm parties. You all are missing the point. Everyone knows that drinking when you’re under 21 is illegal.

We all know the grant is a waste of money, and that's the core issue here. Since Berkeley does not do enough to align itself with the other problems it faces as a city, frats unfortunately take more blame than necessary. But enough of the sob story. Focus on the root of the problem and not some joke (item #1) about whose careers get ruined.

I know, being a frat boy, it might seem otherwise... but, honest to god, it's true. In fact, (perish the thought) it's even a crime. If you wanted to be an alcoholic during college, maybe you should have gone to a party school? SOMEONE is blowing $25k a year on your education, maybe you should value it a bit more?
