ALCOHOL AND DRUGS The possession, use and/or consumption of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, while on Chapter premises, during an official fraternity event, or in any situation sponsored or endorsed by the Chapter, must be in compliance with any and all applicable laws of the state, province, county, city and university. No alcoholic beverages may be purchased through the chapter treasury nor may the purchase of the same for members or guests be undertaken or coordinated by any member in the name of or on behalf of the Chapter during an official fraternity function except under conditions that a licensed bartender be retained who assumes liability for dispensing alcoholic beverages, and university approval has been obtained for the event. The purchase and/or use of a bulk quantity of such alcoholic beverages, i.e., kegs, is prohibited. No Chapter members, collectively or individually, shall purchase for, serve to, or sell alcoholic beverages to any minor (i.e., those under legal "drinking age"). The possession, sale and/or use of any ILLEGAL DRUGS or CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES at any Chapter house, sponsored event or at any event that an observer would associate with fraternity, is strictly prohibited. No Chapter may cosponsor an event with an alcohol distributor, charitable organization or tavern where alcohol is given away, sold or otherwise provided to those present unless the conditions stated in items #2 and #8 are satisfied. No Chapter may cosponsor or co-finance a function where alcohol is purchased by any of the host Chapters, groups, or organizations, unless the conditions stated in items #2 and #8 are satisfied. All rush activities associated with any Chapter will be a DRY rush function. OPEN PARTIES where alcohol is present, meaning those with unrestricted access by nonmembers of the fraternity, without specific invitation, shall be prohibited. No member shall permit, tolerate, encourage or participate in "drinking games" at official fraternity functions. No alcohol shall be present at any pledge/associate member/novice program or activity of the Chapter. HAZING No Chapter shall conduct hazing activities. Hazing activities are defined as: “Any action taken or situation created, intentionally, whether on or off fraternity premises, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Such activities may include but are not limited to the following: use of alcohol; paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical or psychological shocks; quests, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips or any other such activities carried on outside or inside of the confines of the Chapter house; wearing of public apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; and any other activities which are not consistent with fraternal law, ritual or policy or the regulations and policies of the educational institution.” SEXUAL ABUSE The fraternity will not tolerate or condone any form of sexually abusive behavior on the part of its members, whether physical, mental, or emotional. This is to include any actions which are demeaning, including but not limited to date rape, gang rape, or verbal harassment.
