Bloomington, IN – \u201cI farm the land because the land must be farmed,\u201d said Brent Whiteman, 2 year member of the\u00a0Sigma Alpha Epsilon\u00a0fraternity. I watch as Brent, alongside his other brothers, fulfill their new calling\u2014self-sustaining organic farming.<\/p>\n
In the week since the alcohol ban took place, opulent fraternity houses on 3rd St. have since been razed in favor of rolling fields and humble shacks. \u201cThe terror that men have wrought upon our beautiful Indiana is disgusting. We intend to fix it,\u201d Whiteman said while wiping a tear from his eye.<\/p>\n
“Since we haven’t been allowed to drink for the past week, I actually went to my P-101 class and realized what I needed in my life” the self realized Whiteman explained. “I have food, a home, I’ve got all the support I need from my bros, and I know I’m awesome. But this guy Maslow kept talking about ‘self actualization’, and that’s when I realized we were lacking a purpose. So we gave ourselves one.”<\/p>\n
These young men have cracked closed their cold ones and exchanged their customized paddles for hoes\u2014and not the blonde kind. With the philosophy of Thomas Jefferson and the wisdom of Henry David Thoreau, Brent has lost his desire to binge drink, and rather says he is “intoxicated on the purity of all living things.\u201d When asked what the future may hold,\u00a0Brent informed me that he has new aspirations\u00a0for his future.<\/p>\n
