How about not joining any frat?

Zonk, time to ship Zipper back to his Mommy!!!

Where is Zipper going to college? Walden? Not sure I recognize the background.

There’s a third alternative—getting stoned out of your gourd on weed!!

I chose a third alternative, live in the dorm. You meet a nicer group of people. Nerdy as H*ll, with less in the way of social skills, but so was I.

True Wild & Crazy doesn’t need booze. It just comes naturally.

That’s a simple decision: join the boring frat; party with with party frat.

No such thing as moderation, huh?

I was a much happier young man after I learned that it wasn’t necessary to drink till I passed out.

Either house is going to smell bad and be a pigsty, but just one will have slippery floors

Says the man who once said “I’ve gotta lay off the kool-aid before bedtime.”

I’m not sure where I come down on that one either. The suspense is killing me.

And to think of all the thinks I’ve missed by not drinking.

Or be a GDI!

in college my room mate and I were both interested in the same girl. he pledged a frat and we showed up at a party to support him. since he figured he’d be there all night he wasn’t drinking at first. I was free to get a beer. The girl was a tea totaller and so it looked like he didn’t drink. He later told me I dodged a bullet as she was a controlling B*****

Being found in a pool of vomit, dead. Ala Bon Scott.

Don’t fret Zipper, you’ll always have pot.

If neither appeals you can always dump the frat track.

Possibly you could make friends, study, take up hobbies or sports, meet women and a bunch of things that actually work out better sober. You’re there to learn, right?

At least he’s putting a lot of thought into this…

Boredom means less dry cleaning bills
