Southern Methodist Requires Groups to Register Parties

August 26, 2008 02:13 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

As part of its battle against excessive partying, Southern Methodist University will adopt a new party registration policy this fall, the Daily Campus reports. Student organizations like fraternities and sororities must register all events that serve alcohol and are "publicized or advertised in any manner, either in print, online or through word of mouth"—even when they are off-campus. A group must apply 10 days before the event and be approved by a small committee comprised of police and school representatives and two students.

The new policy also says that parties can be held only between Fridays at 3 p.m. and Sundays at 5 p.m.

SMU Student Reactions

An SMU student journalist hit the campus to interview students on their thoughts of KA getting kicked off campus, and she heard some pretty interesting things! To read the whole article visit http://www.smudailymustang.com/?p=8100

KA fraternity kicked off campus for a positive event

The KA fraternity hosted a mother's against drunk driving event and others, but what do they get? A kick in the face from the Administration! Told to teenagers that they need to vacate where they are living in 5 days! And, all because they hosted a positive celebration. The SAE's on that campus killed a kid and nothing happened. Where are their values? Houston is outraged!!!!!
