u better be a man or else u spending too much time online..and not enough making my sammich

That was clever and all, and yes, I am a guy, but since i DO go to college, that took me all of 5 seconds to figure out. Really not that hard to do basic addition and subtraction. Also, really not that hard to spell words like "you" "you're" and "sandwich."

Sure_Thing, "YOUR" my hero!

OR you get the stuff on sale or return and charge 1,50$ (~1€) per beer...like they do in every dormitory or fraternity bar over here.... Prices may vary...

FAIL @ #32 for using the wrong "your." In this case, should've been "you're." Better luck next time, friend.

Hooray, community college! Your math lacks a very important factor. Based on your math, either none of the guys in the fraternity drink any of the beer or you are also charging each guy in the fraternity to drink beer they already paid for. To the other posters, it wouldn't be all that odd for two guys to buy $300 worth of alcohol. I did it a few times while in college when I hosted parties. I spent around $400 myself for one party on alcohol, food, and the ensuing noise violation. And anybody worth a damn doesn't charge people to come to a party. Thanks ahead of time for the insults about how much I spend or mentions of daddy's money (not true, part time job on top of scholarship = leftover $$). And another thing, why the hell would you spend $300 on cans of beer when you could have gotten 6 kegs of a cheap beer or 3 or 4 good kegs of good beer. I went to UGA and Athens is a mecca of alcohol prices, so do the math if you need, but its true. $45 kegs of Stones or Natty. $55-65 for imports. If you spend more than $60 downtown on yourself, you're hammered or $100 will take care of you and a few girls easily.

Not community college, but whatever. Whenever I have parties, all of my roommates chip in the same amount as everyone else, and since i didn't really feel like estimating the amount of guys in the frat, and since most of my figures were ballparks (like the number of beers per person), my point still remains. Also, these are frat guys, and every frat party around here charges. But then again, frat guys aren't exactly "worth a damn," as evidenced by the fact that they bought 510 cans of beer, instead of spending about half what they did on a keg.

Ok, sorry. I just don't think there is any profit to be made by buying 30 packs of stones. The point remains that $300 split between a fraternity is nothing. Agree with you on the frat guys. When the girls get tired of getting treated like crap the first couple years, they turn to guys who never based their identity on the other guys they pay to hang out with. Bunch of alcoholics and coke heads.

Amen to that. It's only so long until Abercrombie Polos start losing their position as a status symbol. And living in a small house with 20+ other guys just screams independence and self reliability...

stereotypes and generalizations ftw!

Stereotypes and generalizations aren't just created because one person said something that caught on. They exist because it is something many people have noticed and aren't too politically correct to point out. Sorry if your short shorts and polo get wrinkled by this, but they are stereotypes for a reason.

Sure your math makes sense and all, but think of the toll a party takes on a house; holes punched in the walls, humidity, stuff spilled on the floor. You might want to up your profit margin.

Jeez, I try to do some fast math while doing homework, and everyone finds the holes in my logic. Ok, so the frat drinks, call it 3.52 x 20 or so, that's like $70.40 off your total. Hopefully the party won't take much of a toll on the apartment, but if you keep damages under $55.40 a night and you still make a profit, drink for free, and have a great time all around. If you buy kegs, variable costs go down, you get a higher contribution margin, and a higher total overall. Have something else going on, DJ or something, and you can charge more. Buy more beer, have more people, you get more profit, but higher fixed costs on repairs. Either way, it justifies the expense, and makes this NOT an FML. (And they say business degrees are useless).

52 if you paid attention he put his your in quotations. I'm no Einstein but I'm pretty sure he was sarcastic seeing his your was all in capital letters and " " once again so "YOUR" wrong. heh oh in case you didn't figure it out yes I put that wrong on purpose

You certainly have strange laws...

Dirty thirties are nasty...

That is not true in all states. I have bought beer in excess of that quantity for a fraternity party several times. Regarding buying cases instead of kegs, some schools have a policy against having kegs.

Do you believe everything St0rm11 tells you?

Except for the dues. Those are expensive.... and the OP is a woman, so sorority. Unless it's a co-ed frat, then she could join.
