You stay inebriated Kenyon College
The War Against Beer Pong
Nice to know that Kenyon is maintaining its traditions.
"You can't drink if you're not 21, but that does not seem to have deterred [students] in any way," admits Tammy Gocial, dean of students at Kenyon College in Ohio, where a drinking-game ban has been officially repealed. Gocial notes that it's already against the law for underage students to drink, so "to do the same thing [with a campus ban] — we know it's not working," she says. Instead, according to Gocial, Kenyon is developing a student-responsibility campaign in an effort to change campus culture and reduce binge-drinking.
