State Patty's Day

My oldest sister Katie who is the College ​Neighborhood Coordinator at Penn State main is in the process of making State Patty's Day less reckless as it has been in the past. In effort, she and other volunteers and students are encouraging families to be present while the unofficial day is being celebrated. They believe that mere presence of families people will mostly like be reluctant to (for example) urinate in public. In addition, an off-campus union is tactfully planning to hand out free pretzels. With food in these peoples' stomachs, puking and alcohol poisoning are more preventative. Thousands of students from other universities plan on attending the event. From the past few years, it has been shown that those who cause the most trouble have not been from the university. My sister and her supporters' goals are not to create an "anti-drinking army" but rather keep the community under control and still have fun. Hopefully those who are visiting from outside the university won't trash the campus this year.

She says if I attend, she will be sure to tell everyone that I am her sister. Mind you, she will be running down the street wearing a bright yellow hat and wearing a shirt that says "sober is sexy!"
