Georgetown Article

I personally believe that a party should be a party. The rules and restrictions that Georgetown is implementing in newer policies is, in some ways, taking out one of the main goals of a party: to loosen up and relax. The fact that the university is posting a procedure in order to have a party might turn people off of even trying to have parties. The restrictions do make sense, but they are having more negative effects than positive in my opinion. Taking "social life off campus," there are many complaints from students, and the fact that the restrictions have not had the effect on the community that the school wished, are all major backfires to these new rules (Kinzie).

Rules and restrictions set forth by Georgetown University recently are only the first of many steps that need to be taken to change the way parties are carried out on college campuses across the country. Some of the new restrictions include "one-keg-per-party," limiting the number of people allowed at a party, and registering "Two over 21 hosts" (Kinzie). Some say that these new rules have "pushed social life off campus" (Kinzie), causing local police and residents to strive to do more to neutralize problems some of the students are causing.
