They’ve clearly ratcheted up the enforcement, EANABs did not used to be mandated (except maybe having water available?), and underage drinking was only a problem for the person doing it if they got caught outside with an open container or biking while drunk.

While I was there there was an “open door” drinking policy for freshmen. Meaning RAs would not stop you from drinking anything you chose but wanted the doors open so they could intervene quickly if someone got alcohol poisoning. It’s my understanding that hard alcohol is now banned so people just close the door.

Specific policies aside it’s clear from their actions that the university wants to purge student control from housing or social organizations. They unceremoniously eliminated the European theme houses, ended student control of band, have been picking the frats off one by one. The coops are probably next on the chopping block.
