Hey, I noticed a change you made to the Origin of Beer Pong section. You changed a sentence that said "In the same article it is mentioned that in the 80s, Delta Upsilon members at Bucknell University played a game similar to beer pong called "Throw Pong" which may have contributed to the creation of beer pong." to "In the same article it is mentioned that in the 70's, Delta Upsilon or Sigma Alpha Epsilon members at Bucknell University played a traditional beer pong game with paddles - but with a twist that included throwing - which may have contributed to the creation of beer pong." I think your change creates a false statement. Delta Upsilon members at Bucknell University did indeed play a game called "Throw Pong" that involved no paddles. They did not play traditional beer pong with a twist that included throwing. Sigma Alpha Epsilon may have played traditional beer pong with a twist that included throwing, this I don't know. I think it would be better to either add on to the original sentence, or add a new sentence that keeps the original sentence's meaning intact. For instance, "In the same article it is mentioned that in the 80s, Delta Upsilon members at Bucknell University played a game similar to beer pong called "Throw Pong" which may have contributed to the creation of beer pong. The article also mentions Sigma Alpha Epsilon members at Bucknell University played traditional beer pong with paddles, but with a twist that included throwing." This keeps the original statement accurate, while adding in your information. I have to ask, where is this information coming from? I would like to know more about this. If you are wondering whether Delta Upsilon members at Bucknell really did play "Throw Pong", visit this site: http://throwpong.blogspot.com/2011/06/throw-pong-true-origin-of-beirut-beer.html The pictures in the site prove everything.
