When 83-year-old New York-native Frances Levine could not attend her grandson’s graduation from the University a year ago, she made it a point to visit campus this year. “I try to visit all the colleges of my grandchildren,” Levine explains.
Many students were standing around the bong, a large funnel at the top, followed by nearly 30 feet of tubing. Few students were attempting the beer bong and those who did were getting drenched in beer. But Frances decided to give it a chance.
“My mother got closer and closer and said ‘I think I’m going to give it a try,’ ” Murray said.
Frances said her family was baffled by her curiosity and interest in the college tradition. “They said, ‘You can’t do this!’ and I said ‘Why not?’
When Frances started to do the beer bong, students in the vicinity erupted in excitement and enthusiasm. “They were yelling ‘Go, go, go, go, go!’ ” Murray said. “The guy with the jacket slapped her five and all,” Allie added.
Frances enjoyed herself just as much as those around her. “I loved it. I felt great. I felt young — not that I feel that old,” Frances said. She especially enjoyed the response she got from the students. “I loved the kids cheering me on.”
