Right there with ya. I'm also starting to wonder... maybe it's time we start exploring making LSU a dry campus.
I lived in a dry Baptist county once. Every car I was ever in had a pint of bourbon in the glove compartment.

No shite, that’s why I’m asking. That idiot drank himself to death on his own. Had nothing to do with SAE or Murphys or anyone else.
So who is the second death Mikel is talking about?

And it’s not like the Gruver death can be blamed on Greeks either, the dork fraternities don’t count

They will tailgate. Just can’t put up letters etc. they will all just show up and go for it.
This is what I was wondering. They are banning the fraternities, not the individuals who are in a fraternity. I have never tailgated on or near the parade ground (actually one time I did tailgate near, this was years ago and if I recall it was a day game and I wasn't there long).
Do the fraternities get out of hand? Obviously there is a reason they are banned from tailgating at the parade grounds.

Except the freedom of association doesn't extend to fraternities as we know them today. Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity, Inc. v. University of Pittsburgh, 229 F.3d 435, 439 (3rd Cir. 2000); Chi Iota Colony of Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity v. City University of New York, 502 F.3d 136 (2nd Cir. 2007).

Lofton is huge. I don’t see how they couldn’t staff it. How many security guards are we talking about? I wouldn’t think it was more than 100 for all the houses combined.

I’m sure Loftin could cover it. This smells of a planned move by the university to get rid of frats. Move the Greeks from their homes to the parade grounds. Make it inconvenient for them. Then run them off the parade grounds when you no longer want them there cause you want to charge the public to party in the frats spot. Then force them to hire the only security company that is willing to work that subsequently and conveniently can’t “cover it”. Bull shite!
Just like pricing the season tickets higher every season to make sure only certain people can afford them. Or changing the tailgating on campus and charging for parking. It’s all part of a bigger plan the university has. We just don’t know it yet.
But I’m sure the plan includes the abolition of Greek social orgs. And if they can’t get rid of them for drinking, they’ll regulate them Out of existence with shite Like this. And taking away all of their fun.

Do they not teach anything about the constitution in schools anymore? Just like freedom of speech, the 1st amendment only protects your right to peaceful assembly from restriction by the government, not private property owners, your employer, or in this case LSU administrators. Andd just for the sake of educating people there is this,
"The Supreme Court of the United States has held that the First Amendment protects the right to conduct a peaceful public assembly. The right to assemble is not, however, absolute. Government officials cannot simply prohibit a public assembly in their own discretion, but the government can impose restrictions on the time, place, and manner of peaceful assembly, provided that constitutional safeguards are met.[ Time, place, and manner restrictions are permissible so long as they “are justified without reference to the content of the regulated speech, . . . are narrowly tailored to serve a significant governmental interest, and . . . leave open ample alternative channels for communication of the information.”

How can they stop them from tailgating at an approved area

I place the Wynn responsibility on LSU for that one because they were so afraid of liability that they forced bid night off campus where it was mostly beer and much of that went to watering the grass and the fraternities then went off campus and many of them chose bars to do it where the access to hard alcohol was easier to get...and harder to monitor.....the LSU Admin was asking fr this
I had graduated the year before when LSU started this off campus bid night and could see that it would not be good. But it was good for LSU because Bid Night was not on Campus. To the Gruver (sp) incident, it had nothing to do with tailgating so why the change back to the houses. At the time of Ben Wynn frats pre-gamed at the House not at a tailgate and then went back after the game for a band. Mid 90's there was a security guard required for South Seas but he was just checking a guest list which was xeroxed from the sorority phone list. Greek Affairs was trying to shut down the system in the 90's and it seems that they have stepped up their game.

STFU you triggered bitch. As much crap as we give frat stars, we should not support the admins efforts to control every aspect of the student experience.
Students should be allowed to tailgate anywhere they like. Regardless of club affiliation. Just like every other person visiting the campus
I completely agree.

When those frat stars, I mean students, learn to tailgate without destroying the parade grounds or constantly getting into fights maybe they can be treated like normal people

No. It’s maybe one-third each to LSU, SAE and Murphy’s. SAE like a few others had been way out of control for years. It was very conspicuous. Murphy’s, loved the place dearly but serving pitchers of three wise men for pledges, or anyone, to shotgun is pretty fricking stupid.

This is where they get the fraternities. They can take off their letters and tailgate like everyone else. If Greek affairs finds out that more than 3 members were together then it is considered a non sanctioned event. Are you following This? You become good friends and hangout with mostly guys in your fraternity. LSU can pull this card whenever they want

Um no. It was 100% Wynn's own fault. Same with Gruver.

This thread is awesome. Pretty easy to pick out the virgin losers with no friends that couldn’t get into a fraternity.
