Ban on Jell-O wrestling ends fun for fraternities

Ok, so I can understand the ban on exotic dancers in fraternities, but is there truly a need to put a stop to Jell-O wrestling ("Fraternities OK with dancer ban," Feb. 1)?

I understand Penn State is trying to ruin the greek system, which is the lifeline of this school, but there needs to be some slack on this Interfraternity Council leash. Jell-O wrestling is pure entertainment. Are these girls forced to wrestle around in that green or red slop called Jell-O? No. Does it put down all the women out there? No. Jell-O wrestling is a voluntary act. These women enjoy tossing each other around, getting ready for the fight over a free T-shirt and cheap parting gifts.

So I ask you, why take away Jell-O wrestling? You may think you're attacking the fraternity system, but what you're really doing is depriving these women of a once in a lifetime opportunity here. I for one, feel sorry for them.
