I realize I'm not actually old enough to be nostalgic, but I am. I'm nostalgic for a time when Yale administrators weren't concerned with making laundry lists of rules for tailgating and partying during the weekend of the Game. But despite my wish to see Branford's courtyard packed and tipsy girls perched precariously atop the Sig Ep U-Haul, I am not going to use this column as a public platform for complaint (emphasis added)

While Yale may be taking precautions similar to Harvard's (though I would argue ours are more effective), I believe the actions taken by the two schools in the past few years reflect a larger trend on college campuses -- the increasing prevalence of binge drinking. I believe binge drinking is less of a problem at Yale than it is at other schools, but its very existence in the alcohol culture here is still cause for concern.
It's pretty amazing that a new fraternity chapter can become the poster child for excess so quickly.

PS: check out the Google ads - when I pulled up the article they were ALL about alcohol recovery programs.
