OK guys. No pooping by the door, K?
I’ve been to many sorority date parties in my college career and I can say there is nothing sloppier. For those of you who aren’t part of the Greek Life crew on your campus, sorority and fraternity date parties usually go something like this:
Theme: “Crush party”, “Semi-formal”, “Formal”, “Barndance”, etc.
Pre-party: Groups gather at someone’s place (not in the sorority house – that would be against the rules), get a quarter barrel and some cheap vodka, take lots of pictures.
Bus: Already buzzed/drunk college kids armed with water bottles and flasks find their seats and continue drinking. House Social Planner/President get on loud speaker and warn everyone that there will be a $500 fine for whoever pukes on the bus.
Date Party: Very drunk college kids continue to drink and get very, very sloppy. Public makeouts and other lewd behavior ensue.
If you are at Miami of Ohio, though, they go more like this:

Miami University in Oxford, OH (yea, confusing right?) conducted a survey to see just how aware young college women are about the dangers of “drug-facilitated sexual assault.” The findings were surprising…and pretty scary.
So we all know about roofies and not to accept drinks from guys cuz they’re probably creeps who want to take advantage of us. But how many times do we really apply our knowledge when we’re out at the bars? Have you ever turned down a free drink? (Editor’s Note: Hell no!)
Or how about this:
You set your drink down for a nano second to grab a cigarette (cuz your an impulsive chain smoke under the influence), pick up your drink and you’re back on your merry way. Little did you know, weirdo standing next to you sprinkled a little fairy dust in your drink and the next thing you know you’re falling over yourself as he carries you back into his shady lair.
It’s sad but true, ladies. The study showed that while most girls were aware that taking a drink from a stranger was a big no-no, they didn’t really think about the risk of leaving their drink unattended, even for a split second.
Here’s another scary fact: the U.S. Department of Justice reports that 1 in 5 women will be the victim of a sexual assault during their college years. That’s like saying one of your best friends, or even you, can be sexually assaulted during your 4 years (or longer, we don’t judge) at college. I don’t know about you, but that kinda freaks me out.
