Georgetown University is putting their foot down and is becoming extremely strict with dealing with university party life. The rules and regulations are completely ridiculous. Even though drinking is illegal for people under twentyone, how can a university expect students to change their ways of socializing? Dan Castrigano, a student, says, "you can't just change the culture of a college campus" (qtd. in Kinzie). One of his roommates, Pat DePoy even started a facebook petition against the madness, accumulating almost 2,000 signatures (Kinzie). I couldn't agree more with these students. Their social aspect of college is being deminished and the liveliness of campus is vanishing.
After it was decided that enough was enough, Georgetown University has decided to put their foot down and regulate any party activity on campus. Parties have definitely been roaring out of control and trickling into the backyards of neighbors, leaving them annoyed (Kinzie). Solberg, a police commandar, states that "We have tried a variety of different tactics..." (qtd. in Kinzie). Basically, students are still getting obliterated and the school just chose to crack down. Lawful actions are definitely what's best for the university right now. Students' lives could possibly be at stake, and it's better to be safe than sorry.
