Recently there have been changes made to certain event policies on Campus. According to current Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) fraternity member, Alexander Gutierrez “the biggest difference would be the school actually trying to enforce these rules and make them a standard rather than just being listed.” When considering the first rule under Special Events Alcohol Policy in the student handbook, it states that “all events involving alcohol must be registered no less than 30 days in advance of the event.”

The enforcement of this rule is likely a reason for the difference in scheduling compared to before. Dean Brian Walker says there are different types of parties and there are many locations where these parties might take place. “Dorms can have events such as a football watch party, but they’re not supposed to be parties like you would see at fraternity houses, it basically would be just for residents of that dorm.”.

Dean Walker also mentions that when it comes to blacklisting policies his understanding is “there has to be something very egregious done to be blacklisted” such as sneaking alcohol or damaging property. Blacklisting is a process where a certain individual would not be allowed to enter that building.  However “posting something on social media or making a statement shouldn’t warrant getting blacklisted”, but the process in not necessarily something the administration or student life is heavily involved in.
