RUMORS?

This weekend while i was out i heard rumors about some new recommendations for the campus.
SMU might build an on-campus pub and may allow frats to have parties in the houses with professional bartenders under one circumstance: they must hire police to monitor the parties.

This is quite interesting. I have not heard of a campus with a bar in it! I mean thats kinda cool? but i would feel really weird saying "hey tonight were going to the smu bar!" That is just weird. We are all so used to going to off campus bars. I would feel like I'am getting in trouble if I drink at the on-campus pub.

I'm not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing to have police in the houses. SMU is a dry campus but who listens to that? Every weekend people are pregaming in their dorm and in the frat houses and most of the time you can get away with it. I know my friends at other schools get suprised when I tell them SMU has parties at bars because most colleges with a greek system throw all their parties in the fraternity houses. I actually really like going off campus to different bars its a different scene and i definitely feel older going to bars.

Having police in the houses would definitely be safer for everyone but not as fun. I dont think we need professional bartenders in the house it is too much of a hastle waiting for drinks when you can just get one in any of the rooms of the frat. I could not imagine going into a frat house getting my i.d. checked and walking around the house with a wrist band or x's on your hand. Most of my friends have fake i.d's and it is pretty easy to get into bars with them but with the cops checking our i.d's they could be taken away pretty fast.

Having cops monitor parties would definitely make going out not as fun. I dont think it really matters though. I think that even if there are bartenders at the houses the frats would still throw parties at other bars. I wonder if this reccomendation will happen in the future. And if it does i wonder how it will change the SMU night life.
