Why do they do it then? So confused.
Well, they want beer at the party, and this helps defray costs. Also, making sure that only official beer cups are used makes the tracking of minors easier (can't drink if you're under 21 in the US), and is probably a restriction forced upon them by the college.

Raise money for the frat or cover other costs. The budget for student activities may cover some cost of the party as well. I would guess, what, 500 students came to that? They could recover about ~$4000, which pretty much takes care of the cost of alcohol, and maybe the band.
I see that DX is also wasting brain cells on the Polaroid Swinger jingle.
I used to have one. In fact, I may still have it.

Huh. This puts James Garner and Mariette Hartley's relationship in a whole new light.
So the one thing I didn't understand was what the deal with the bomb threat was, other than to show how lazy the Sherrif's Dept is. Were we supposed to infer one of the characters called it in to try to somehow stop the rape?
Veronica called it in, because she thought the police couldn't ignore it (Surprise!) whereas she's had bad experiences reporting rape to the cops before.

Yeah, I think Veronica called it in, since she knew how well the Sheriff's office would deal with a rape call.
Eta: X-Post!
Ah. I apparently missed when she actually made the call.
It was off-screen as far as I can tell.
Could someone explain the 10 dollar beer cup to me. Does it afford you unlimited access to the keg? How do frats turn a profit on that?
Well, I know some states have tricksy liquor laws. You can't sell alcohol without a license. If you sell someone a $10 cup and they're allowed free beer, you get around that law. Now you just need to make sure minors aren't buying the cups so you don't get busted for contributing to the deliquency.
Um...not that I've been there, done that.
