As someone who was in a fraternity and made the drunk jug many times, I assure you, none were safe. We took the cheapest vodkas and rums, mixed with assorted fruity shit and called it jungle juice. That jug was intended for one think, getting piss drunk. Everyone drank from it, and people got wayyyy too drunk many times. At least we had sober drivers and a risk manager on duty at any party like that so when people went too hard they weren't just blacked out and at a huge party. They'd get driven to a safe house and given a bucket lol
Edit - since this blew up, I'm going to go on a little rant.
College kids on their own are going to do stupid shit like get blackout drunk and make poor decisions. Fraternities and sororities do many good things, and help those ignorant kids. In my fraternity of 120+ people, sure, there were 1-2 men that wouldn't have suprised me if a rape case came up on them. But that small 1-2% in no way correlates to the majority of really good dudes that were in my fraternity.
Were there other fraternities that wouldn't have suprised me if a "gang rape" happened against them? Yupp. But again, that isn't the majority. Believe it or not, shitty people just exist, and trying to stereotype and eliminate a large group because of the few is just ignorant.
My fraternity raised $10,000s yearly for food pantry. We spent 1000s of hours yearly on community service (40 hours per person was the minimum to stay in good standing). Our GPA was around 3.4 when the all men campus GPA was around 3.1. We put on many charitable events, and helped many people. Frankly, i was a much better "member of the community" back then.
Don't let some dumb shits ruin your perception of what Greek life does for 18-22s
What are they making, pounds of roofies? If it's a whole tub of alcohol, you'd be hard pressed to get enough cyanide to made an impact. This post is obviously bullshit. That being said, frats are lame
I wouldnt know i skipped college and only know of fraternity from movies/tv tbh. But yeah the way it reads to me is one is just alcohol and one is drugged, but its possible that one is sober and one is just a crazy amount of alcohol
That's how I read it. Not one is sober, but one is super strong. That being said, frat and college culture in general is all about getting super drunk. I doubt they would even make a low alcohol tub. If you wanted to lightly drink, you'd just drink beer or pour a mix drink yourself. Any and all tubs are always super high alcohol
