It has been impossible for us to identify the students who organize the event because it is publicized and promoted via an anonymous Facebook account.
The so-called "Tour de Franzia" has surfaced at Wesleyan in recent years and it has been fraught with dangerous problems. The popular, one-night event consists of teams of students, each drinking a 5-liter box of Franzia wine as fast as they can, while running around campus completing wacky tasks like "whole team in a tree," "being ironic in WesCo" and "getting undressed on a dresser," according to the student-run blog Wesleying.įor the second year in a row, Wesleyan University's administration has appealed to parents of students about "this problematic campus event," according to an email sent April 11 by Dean Michael Whaley, vice president for student affairs, encouraging them to talk with their children. The ongoing controversy surrounding Wesleyan's annual box-wine-chugging / scavenger hunt, known as Tour de Franzia, hit the national stage this week after the story was picked up by Gawker's online feminist blog Jezebel.
