"The Game" - Most Fratty or a Fratty Void?

In our Fratty or Not Fratty series we offer that the Yale-Harvard football match up may be the frattiest game- because where else can you catch one of the the president's daughters putting down some brewskies at the tail gate? Here is the rundown for those of you who didn't score one of the 30,000 (Yale Bowl 60,000, Harvard Bowl 30,000) of the hardest to get tickets in the realm of college sports.

One thinks of the past with uber-fratters like Calvin Hill (DKE, Skull and Bones) , star football player for Yale who went on to have a Hall of Fame NFL career (and a not very fratty son Grant Hill who starred at Duke, annoyed millions by winning a national championship and went on to the NBA fora decidedly non HOF career.) In the stands was one of Hill's best friends, fraternity brother and future President George Bush and hundreds of future corporate executives and several other future presidential contenders.

What isn't fratty is that Harvard is cracking down on fratty tailgating- U-Hauls laden with fratty equipage can no longer be brought in, there will be increased policing of drinking, and *gasp* it is rumored beer pong will not be allowed. City police have stated that they will have a larger presence after some things got out of hand in previous years in the tailgating lots. (Class envy is such an ugly thing.)

This means there may be a void! Is there a fratty event that you think will take its place? You've got heck of a challenge-
