South Carolina Sororities Ban Members From Fraternity Tailgates Until Guys Get Their Drinking Under Control
Sorority Council at the University of South Carolina has banned sorority members from fraternity tailgates until at least October 1. For fraternity members, this will mean a major lack of girls wearing little black dresses and cowboy boots for their first home game against East Carolina on September 17. According to a text message obtained by TFM, it appears as though the ban is the Sorority Council’s own form of punishment for the fraternity guys’ drunken behavior.
A written statement for the ban has yet to be released, but a sorority member who sat for a meeting with the council typed up the announcement and sent it to a fraternity member, who then sent it to us.
Judging by the announcement, it appears as though the ban was handed down as a means of curbing the drinking at USC fraternities, which have seen a substantial increase in alcohol-related hospitalizations this year (if someone can hit me with the stats proving that, I’d appreciate it). Apparently, sorority members will not be permitted to attend any private tailgate for the first home game on Saturday, and when October hits, those members will not be permitted to attend any tailgate that serves hard alcohol.
The council adds: “As women, we have the power to control the men.”
This sucks ass, but you have to admit, it is pretty hilarious. It’s essentially the organizational equivalent of a girlfriend withholding sex until a man gets his shit together. Totally enforceable, too. I guarantee there will be teams of sisters from every sorority patrolling the tailgate lots, looking for girls to slip up. Some people suck that badly.
Kind of fucked up how the sorority council puts all of the blame on the guys, though. Yes, fraternities are the ones serving the alcohol. But women are at just as much fault for drinking too much, throwing up in their dorm rooms, then telling their RAs, “I WAS AT XXXX FRAT PARTY!”.
**UPDATE**
Here’s the official announcement:
This sucks for so many guys just tryna get sucked. But drinking to the point of hospitalization is no fucking joke.

10 years ago at 1:03 pmI’m just tryina get sucked too yo
10 years ago at 5:09 amExcept sometimes it is a joke. Cops at SC have been going crazy downtown and on campus to the point where a lot of people aren’t even going out. They also are giving underage drinkers they catch the choice of going to jail or the hospital. So people who are just buzzed are going to the hospital blowing up the stats for hospitalizations this year over last.

10 years ago at 12:41 pmSo blaming peoples drinking problems solely on the fraternities and their tailgates…..solid logic right there.
10 years ago at 12:44 pmThis is horse shit. The liberals running this school are doing everything in their power to get rid of the fraternities. How else do we get through this season if we can’t have hard liquor at our tailgates?
10 years ago at 12:48 pmI’d wanna drink heavily, also, if Will Muschamp was my coach.
10 years ago at 12:51 pmLooks like a lot of non-sorority girls are about to be invited over to Greek Row for some body shots and ice luges.
10 years ago at 12:49 pmReal fratstars take the action to them lol
10 years ago at 5:09 amThe issue is 100% freshmen who come to college without knowing how to handle alcohol and drink casually. Kids who never drank in high school now have access to unlimited drinks and have no idea what their limits are. Lower the drinking age to 18, educate and teach responsibility, and hospitalizations will plummet much more quickly than issuing all these new bullshit policies.
10 years ago at 12:50 pm16 for beer and wine, 18 for hard liquor
10 years ago at 10:30 amClassic “we can’t handle ourselves properly, so let’s blame the frats!”
How about teaching your members to be responsible for their own actions? Or is that not PC?
10 years ago at 1:02 pmThis is the issue with the drinking age being 21 in the states, none of these goobers are used to drinking at 19 and just get fucked
