<p>SAE now gives alcohol-free parties? This is a BIG change from when I attended Northwestern MANY years ago. I assume that none of you on campus have heard of "Paddy Murphy" and his sad demise?</p>
<p>I just googled Paddy Murphy and found a story about him in the Daily Northwestern, dated April 2007. I will tell you this... it is NOTHING like the way Paddy was "celebrated" during my years on campus. NO SIMILARITIES other than the name. More than that, I should not say.</p>
<p>Whats the social scene like the first week before classes during wildcat welcome and stuff...especially for freshman up north?</p>
<p>the social scene during NSW is amazing!! its basically all about getting schwasted and meeting ppl! especially if ur up north, its gonna be awesome! however, it seems they will enforce freshmen freeze this year more than they did last year... meaning that officially freshmen are not allowed in greek houses for the first 4 weeks of school. but even if thats the case, im sure there will be plenty of partaaays to attend... ull see :))</p>
<p>"it seems they will enforce freshmen freeze this year"</p>
<p>They've said that for the past few years.... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>This year, the houses will be enforcing it too- that's the problem. Nearly everyone is in trouble of some sorts and no one wants to get in deeper.</p>
