5. At every social event where alcohol is to be served, students shall be required to show a Davidson College student ID to the host organization’s IDer. The ID should be checked to see if the student has a “21+” engraving on the front of the Cat Card. If the student has a 21+ engraving, a wristband is issued to that student. Non- Davidson College students will need to have two (1) forms of ID and have a Davidson student vouch for him/her as his/her personal guest.

b. Wristbands are non-transferable from one event to another. Students must show ID and receive a new different colored wristband from each event they attend.
6. Attendance at any event is conditional upon behavior. A police officer or other College official may remove anyone who is disruptive. The privilege to attend court events may be revoked by the Dean of Students Office for anyone who has been shown to be a repeated problem at events. This period will be set for an appropriate length of time in a specific case. Groups and individuals are both subject to such a review.

12 ounces, Champagne or wine 5 ounces in capacity.

demeaning to any group or individual. Advertisement includes but is not limited to flyers, posters, sidewalk chalk
and t-shirts.

possession after 1:00 a.m. in or around the house. A weekend party must end the service of alcohol by 1:30 a.m. and no alcohol may be in possession after 2:30 a.m. in or around the house.

alcohol is present.
c) Students may remain and socialize and have music as long as the Risk Manager chooses to remain on duty.
16. Patterson Court is limited to two weekday registered parties per week to be coordinated through Patterson Court Council and the Patterson Court Adviser.

In these cases, the Union will monitor the alcohol policy.
