Dorm Rules Freshman Year

[afalcon10]

How strictly enforced are dorm rules freshman year?

For example, how hard is it to get alcohol on the dry campus and to keep a opposite gender overnight in the dorms?

Not that hard just need a trip to Town Liquor and a back pack.

Not that hard just need a trip to GW.

The real problem is getting the girl to leave in the morning.

That's easy.

"My parents are on their way over."

Works everytime.

You can get away with anything as long as you aren't noisy.

I'm noisy. The RA's knew me well.

Who's the idiot bringing girls back to his own place?! That's asking for trouble. Never let them see where you live. Always go to their place... makes for an easy escape in the morning.

True dat. Too much work needed before and after said activities when its at your place.

Also at some point your roommate will want to go to sleep and a shaking bunk bed is not the easiest place to sleep.

There isn't any restriction on having girls overnight in your room.

Booze = backpack and not looking guilty getting it in... and being relatively quiet so you don't get busted during consumption.

Pretty strictly. Lights out for frosh during the week at 12 midnight. Must be back in the rooms at 1:00 on weekends. No alcohol or females in the dorm rooms.

Oh, I am going by 1962 rules. Never mind.

Don't forget the beanies, knee socks and right-of-way to upperclassmen.

Actually, I'm kind of still in favor of beanies. They are pretty awesome in their own "Where is New South again?" way.

You can manage a Keg on your floor in Harbin, if you are clever about it.

Also, two alcohol violations (used to) equal mandatory alcoholics anonymous meetings, so avoid that second one.

2 alcohol violations does not = AA meetings anymore.

If you want her to leave, just tell her that you are an active member in good standing on an internet message board. That oughta do the trick.

Yeah, I wanted to chime in and endorse going to her place. Much easier exit, no worries about cleaning up your place. Or, there's always an empty room in the house in Burleith you're partying at (but avoid the bushes in the back). Although if she's really hot you want to take her to your place so your roommate sees and spreads the word, thus building your frosh street cred. Plus, he'll probably take a hike for the night (have a system -- we used the rubber band on the door knob) leaving you to frolic in private.

I don't remember too many rules being enforced frosh year ... but now that I think about it, at the time my floor in Harbin (the Gentlemen's Club) set records for most noise and alcohol violations, snuck a few kegs onto the floor in a refrigerator box, and at one point in April, the Housing powers-that-be put the whole floor on probation to try to stop our shenanigans on the floor. It worked: we took it to the 5th and 9th floors.

Looking back, having Kevin Braswell and a couple of the lacrosse players on that floor = good times.

Oh. My. God.

I've never known you to do something so fruity as to name your floor, C2C. I'm disappointed...

As a former tenant in a Burlieth house, I can definitively say that if you chose to hook up in a third party's bedroom that is a very quick way for things to get ugly.

The trick, Mr. Rubb, is to only reveal this information AFTER tackling the gazelle. Otherwise, it works agaisnt you.

Damn! I knew I'd been doing something wrong all these years. Thanks for the tip!
