According to my source in the IFC, the Greek governing body just voted to make all frat parties completely BYOB from now on. Like, legitimitely BYOB, none of this "number on the hand so I can go get your beer from behind this bar" shuck and jive that's been cleverly going on since kegs got banned from parties (another WTF moment in IFC history).

I've been told they're trying to keep this quiet so the Daily and the administration don't get wind of how they've been skirting the rules with this "numbered beer" scam. Although if either party hasn't caught the wind that something like this was happening, they're either a poor journalistic organization or a horribly incompetant administration, and we all know neither is the case...

Can we just talk for a minute about the absurdity of making frat parties legitimately BYOB? Who goes to frat parties in droves? Freshman. Who can almost certainly not buy nor bring their own beer? Freshman. Frat parties are for older brothers to get freshman drunk and recruit them to rush (guys) or impress them with their Greek letters (girls, well, and I guess guys sometimes). Where the hell else are freshman going to get their alcohol from? And if frat parties become BYOB for real , who's going to come? Seniors? I don't think so, if you're 21 you're at the bars, not ****ing Chi Phi. 

But the Greek system for all its flaws, is certainly innovative, and I have no doubt they'll figure out a clever way to get around this new bullshit. I understand why the IFC feels the need to act like all frats should be dry and that no underage drinking should ever take place, but seriously, it's college, not prohibition, lighten the **** up.
