Hosts are reminded that it is illegal to serve any individual under the age of 21 and that the server is responsible for insuring that such is the case. Alcoholic beverages cannot be sold, including but not limited to such practices as charging admission, charging for cups, selling tickets, or requiring donations. Because no alcohol is permitted in the public areas of any residence hall no one may carry open containers of alcoholic beverages into the hallway or any other public area. Failure to do so may result in a Code of Responsibility violation and/or forfeiture of all or part of the deposit.
The Residence Life Office may establish additional policies for the hosting of parties with or without alcohol in residence halls and students are encouraged to inquire in the Residence Life Office.
Regulations for Events Sponsored by Recognized Student Organizations
The following regulations will govern all events sponsored by any Davidson College registered or chartered organization on or off campus. All student organizations are expected to follow local, state, and federal laws. Service of alcohol at any event will use these guidelines as a minimum standard and organizations may also be governed by regulations from other bodies to which the organization is accountable, including but not limited to the NCAA, the Activities Tax Council, Inter/national Fraternities, and other national umbrella organizations.
Patterson Court organizations are not allowed to sponsor fraternity, sorority, or eating house events in their apartments.
Davidson College requires that all student organizations that serve alcohol comply with college policies and guidelines regarding liability insurance, which includes coverage relating to the use, sale, possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The college will determine the minimum amount of liability coverage organizations need.
Students or members of the community who observe a medical or other emergency are obligated to call for help. The college community values the obligation we have to help one another even when that individual or a group may have contributed to the situation. As such "Good Samaritans" who place calls for help will benefit from consideration of this aid as a mitigating circumstance when sanctions are imposed on an individual or student organization.
1. For the purposes of this section, Davidson College defines a "party with alcohol" as any activity, either open or closed, registered or spontaneous, at which alcohol is present. Any requests for exemptions or waivers of this policy must be submitted in writing to the Dean of Students or his/her designee.
