FM: We're grilling some food over there, drinks are in the cooler, help yourself to the chips and cookies too, Our cook is great and our moms and sweetheart bring us baked stuff all year. We're going to play some (horseshoes, volleyball, frisbee, lacrosse, whatever) later, and then tonight a band starts at 7.
R: Great, thanks.
FM: Hey Chris, let me introduce you to Rob. Rob this is my little bro Chris.

I'm surprised you can have beer at rush and play beer pong.

Pretty much sums it up. That's why I think Fraternity Recruitment stories would be boring; the general thought process usually doesn't consist of more than "These guys are cool, I think I could hang out with them."

I know at my school, there's never alcohol at the rush events during the week. The only events with alcohol are unofficial summer rush events and the 2 joint parties on the weekends of rush (and for those, there's no mention on advertisements and everyone signs a waver before they enter the party).

Senusret I (I think I spelled that right) had an interesting NPHC rush story.. but I'm sure his is the most interesting as it gets.

Every other story would just be recounting the nights going out until the bid is received.. and then going out some more until first rite of passage.

we used to call it detox pong. or another variant red bull pong. but nowadays greek life wont allow cups at events. At first it started as no red cups at official/public events/philos/rush/etc. events. now its gone so far to include all color party cups; but excluding clear cups and fast-food related cups.

The clear cups is probably so you can tell at a glance if there is beer in there or not.

you are correct sir. all other manner of party cups were banned bc it presented a bad image to passersby. understandable but still a pain in ass when you plan food events.

The clear cups are usually more expensive I noticed. Not to mention harder to find. Reminds me when I was in Walmart near a college. In the games section were ping pong balls and red dixie cups. I lmao when I saw that.

I remember once I was on a shopping run. I bought a thing of 100 cups since were having a mixer. As I'm paying for it the guy asked if I was buying them for beerpong. It was pretty funny.

[perfectinpurple]

I love when stuff like that happens... a lot of times when me and my roomie grocery shop we get weird looks from the cashier when you buy completely innocent items; cranberry juice, ice, coke...

I guess it just comes with the territory of being a college student

[Psi U MC Vito]

lol yeah. The kid at the counter was college age as well, and I was buyign 100 red cups so yeah. When he asked I answered "No Comment". I then payed and he told me to have fun playing beerpong. I then went next door to buy the beer. I was so glad I wasn't wearing letters.

lmao. Was this still in Walmart? Ours has a liquor section...

[Psi U MC Vito]

No this was in Shoprite. In NJ there is usually a Shoprite Liquor Store located next to teh ShopRite Grocery Store. I know some states like NY and Ohio allow grocery Stores ot sell beer.

[perfectinpurple]

Huh, I've never known a grocery store to not sell liquor. Weird.

[Psi U MC Vito]

Yeah in NJ you can only sell liquor in a dedicated liquor store. You can also buy bottles of beer from bars I know, but that is usually really expensive.

ETA: I lived in Ohio for a few months a couple of years ago. The first time I went grocery shopping I was shocked to see a beer section.

[perfectinpurple]

I still find it weird that you can only buy liquor from a liquor store in NJ... is that like a regional thing or only in NJ?

I don't even want to imagine how expensive it would be to buy from the bar.
