ANTIQUATED AMERICAN CAMPUS ALCOHOL POLICIES

A 21-year-old adult
may not drink alcohol
in a campus dorm

A 21-year-old adult
may drink alcohol
in a “sisterity” or “brotherity” dorm

“Sisterity” or “Brotherity” dorms
are located within
shouting distances of campus dorms

Drunken adults after carousing
are free to return to campus dorms
to caress and harass dorm occupants

This is American-contrived Puritanism
taken too far with documented
consequences for the drunkards and others

Twenty-one-year-old adults
should drink openly and safely
in dorm rooms and not stagger
to the dorms after drinking binges

Stigmatization of Alcohol leads
to surreptitious binge drinking and
alcohol-related accidents on
University campuses and “sisterity/brotherity” dorms

When shall University policies reflect the realities of American living?
