Tuck Begins Brewing Kool-Aid For ASW

Hanover, NH: With Accepted Student's Weekend ("ASW") rapidly approaching, the MBA Program Office has begun brewing the traditional Tuck Kool-Aid.  The drink, a mix of various secret ingredients, is designed to cause a constant state of euphoric community ecstasy.  Researchers have called the results the "Republican version of a group orgy," presumably without the prayer.

The brewing process is ancient and closely guarded by Bill Achtmeyer T'81.  Sources close to Achtmeyer confirm that each batch of Kool-Aid contains a hockey jersey, a dog leash, liquid collaboration, SoBe fruit punch, and hundreds of cases of beer. 

During ASW, current students serve the Kool-Aid to prospective students, most of whom gulp it down greedily.  "The key is to concoct a drink that tastes better than a 2-year stint as an analyst at an investment bank.  It's really not too difficult."  Achtmeyer continued, "The real trick is to isolate that stubborn entrepreneurship gene that some students seem to express.  It is absolutely necessary that we preserve the school's mission of churning out middle managers, and those maverick 'creative types' threaten everything."

The Tuck Kool-Aid has not always been brewed in secret.  The ritual used to be performed openly in Buchanan lounge, until students were caught swimming in the vats, which corrupted the purity of the mixture and introduced potent behavior-inducing molecules into the potion. 

Some of the more bizarre effects of Tuck Kool-Aid can be traced back to this incident, including the overwhelming urge to dress in costumes and act like 18-year-olds first arriving at college.  Also, researchers have discovered that Tuckies who have consumed the Kool-Aid have no capacity to perceive male-female ratios in party environments.
