I honestly don't believe that the frosh are partying harder than they were before. I was a frosh back in 2000, and there is no way anyone could party anymore than we did (granted this was in Halifax).
The amount of liquor I consumed, and girls that I slayed was unreal. Probably no less, or no worse than the frosh today though.
I wish I could go back to University for two weeks. I wouldn't draw a sober breath. They should offer this as some sort of a vacation package
