Many GW students may not find themselves partying at Georgetown this year. The new semester marked the rise of strict new rules and regulations for any parties that occur on the campus of Georgetown University, despite the university’s decision last spring to allow kegs in the dorms.
These regulations include: Students who hold a party on campus over the weekend must register the party with the university by 10am on Thursday. The hosts of these parties can only have one keg per party and are prohibited from using equipment designed for use in high risk drinking games. Party size is also limited based on the size of student’s residence and ranges from about 25 to 50 people. Also, Georgetown University administrators are now authorized to notify parents of students who are under-age and are charged with a second alcohol offence.
Furthermore, the Current reports that on October 1st, another rule was implemented stating students throwing parties must attend an hour-long educational information session.
These new regulations have caused a lot of anger from the students of Georgetown University. Students have begun rallying together to change the rules. One example can be found online. Pat Depoy created and is president of the facebook group, “Work Hard, Play Hard – GU Students for Stopping the Madness.” “It is absolutely ridiculous, but we (GU students) aren’t stupid. All of the bigger parties have just moved off campus and into nearby town houses.” says Tori Fosdal, sophomore at Georgetown University and member of the facebook group.
As of now, the group has over 1,650 students who are want change to the universities new policies.
