It’s hard to believe that the drinking culture could be any worse at WFU than it was at my alma mater - a large state school in a state where the drinking age was 18 and there were bars on campus. Frats were not closely monitored and it was a free for all every weekend beginning Thursdays. Incidents of people over drinking, alcohol poisoning, fights breaking out, etc. were not infrequent.

I agree with the posters who say that at least private schools are open about what’s going on and are trying to address the problem. Give Wake credit for not attempting to bury the incident.

Those students determined to drink are going to find a way to do it, no matter where they are. I would feel much better knowing my son was in a school with kids who value academic achievement, as do the students at Wake, because the party eventually must end in order to make room for all the studying that’s necessary to succeed at Wake.
