Of course, it cannot be said that the members of Zeta Psi were flagrant lawbreakers and criminals - the fact that drinking vessels did not wildly increase in number during Prohibition, and the fact that non-alcoholic beverages were consumed at nearly the same rate as alcoholic beverages, suggests that drinking at the 2251 College Building during the time was motivated mostly by a sense of fun and reasonable moderation, with any legally suspect elements simply adding to an atmosphere of harmless illicit enjoyment and group solidarity; the members of Zeta Psi can be said in this way to be representing a better side of human nature in a time when the law was based on the assumption of human immoderation and irresponsibility.
