re: Proper Venmo courtesy and college girls

My SO's cousin is a student at LSU and I can't imagine a world where we would ever let her or her friends pay us back for food/drinks.

This makes you generous, but I wouldn't consider it normal to be expected to cover the expenses of a the trip for a gaggle of college-aged, unrelated girls, some of whom I would guess he doesn't even know.

Dressing down the guy that gave you a free place to stay, and maybe naively thought he was being nice enough to cater to you at the bars pushes the bounds of societal courtesy more than using an efficient means to recoup money, which was the expectation that was set at the beginning.

I'm not saying I never buy people drinks, and I'd bet OP wouldn't say that either, but he didn't do anything wrong here, except maybe expect his perceived good deeds to go unpunished among 21 year-old coeds.
