So far, the Winthrop HoCo has not received any backlash from residents, Kavanagh said.
She said she expected to get more of a reaction from the House and anticipates some resistance to the new policy.
Some underage students said they dislike the change.
Neil G. Ellingsworth ’05 said that although he agrees with the new crackdown on dues paying, the new carding policy is a bad idea.
“It was a safe environment,” he said, adding that nobody was drinking to excess. “Last time I went to Absolut, I did a complete problem set afterward.”
Kavanaugh said Absoult Thursday helped foster house spirit.
“It’s not all about drinking but about coming together,” she said. “It came down to changing the policy or not being able to continue with Absolut Thursdays. I really hope that students will not stop coming.”
