From TFA.
quote:

the Greek organizations can set up tailgates elsewhere on the campus – provided they register the locations with the university and the locations are approved by the Student Affairs and Accountability office
I have here in front of me a device which represents the cutting edge of probabilistic calculation. With a mere query, it will run complex quantum probability simulations solving for all possible outcomes at once that may occur in the vastness of the universe, generating an overall probability for the event being queried. Let's try it out.

Computron 3000, what is the probability that the Student Affairs and Accountability Office will ever approve any location a Greek organization tries to register?

[[Clicks and whirrs ensue. An image begins to appear on Computron 3000's screen.]]

I keep saying this is painfully stupid. Just have a tailgate with no colors or letters and call it a day. There is absolutely nothing the university can say at that point because it’s not a “fraternity” tailgte then

As long as they don't all congregate in the same place, it probably won't be that bad.

that's why the PGs are off limits. They don't want the cluster effect where they are all in the same location.

It's weird the PGs became popular in the early 2000s it was a dead part of campus.

And now, the people complaining about fights and trash on the parade grounds are going to be complaining about fights and trash next to their tailgate

The whole purpose of kicking frats off of the parade grounds was to be able to sell off tailgating spots. No idea why Lofton canceled their security contract, because they definitely have enough people to provide security. I'm guessing the LSU Admin didn't want to pay their prices long term

The university is working with the social organizations over how the handle Homecoming against Mississippi State University on Oct. 20. Because the event attracts a lot of alumni and donors, LSU officials are working out how the tailgating parties can be held in fraternity and sorority houses.


They must have figured out that if they were going to ban their parties then the Greeks would likely pull out of the Homecoming festivities. Without them there is not much left as far as alumni events, parade, and campus decoration...

Looks like the people who predicted that fraternities are now going to be shoved into the middle of existing tailgate locations were 100% right. This is going to really piss off a whole bunch of people. It’s almost like the administration can’t get out of their own way on this issue.


Can unfun leftists ever get out of their own way?

Ok. So the university did NOT back down. This is not news.
quote:

Ok. Here’s how that goes:
“Hi. We’re X sorority/fraternity. We’re here to apply to tailgate.”
“Thank you for your application and patienc—aaaaand you’re denied.”

Either tailgate with no indication of greek affiliation, or find a place to tailgate off campus where these assholes can’t play games with you.

Or somebody step up and sue the shite out of them. It’s going to happen. You could be that hero.

Not getting into the pro/anti Greeks arguments, but the Greeks of today are tomorrow's alums. And guess what group the administration hits the hardest on, aside from TAF, for money every year?For this quick of a change in policy, less than one week, seems obvious that the Greeks mite have talked to an atty or two or threatened Homecoming but Something happened, for sure.
