If someone doesn’t belong to a fraternity, in all likelihood it’s because he’s not interested. Perhaps it’s even a scene he eschews. When it comes to free booze, however, sometimes an open mind helps fill one’s coffers.

The first step is getting into a party. Policies will vary, but non-members can often at least look out for rush or other open events. Of course, having a buddy on the inside can help too. If all else fails, a few female friends may do it, as long as they're in on the rewards as well.

Once one obtains entry, it’s time for him to make a beeline for the Pong tables. The rule, of course, is that when the opponent lands a toss, the loser must chug. For the small price of putting up with some trash talking, a student will get very toasted.
