    POLICY GUIDELINES
    1. 2. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. (According to FIPG) Closed parties (meaning those events with alcohol present) should have a guest list prepared at least 24 hours in advance. A ratio of two guests per member (or fire code capacity, whichever is smaller) is suggested. Non-alcoholic keg beer is not permitted because it can contain up to .05 percent alcohol. Therefore, serving it would be a violation of our policy. (According to the Delta Chi Risk Management Manual) At chapter social events, signs should be posted that indicate the chapter complies with and enforces the laws and policies with respect to alcohol, illegal drugs, and controlled substances. All persons present should not be allowed access to alcohol if they are intoxicated, regardless of age. Alcohol should only be used as an adjunct to the event rather than its focus. The use of alcohol on the premises should be stopped at least one hour before the end of the function. Plenty of non-salty foods and non-alcoholic alternative beverages should be provided. Adequate professional security should be provided to deal with uninvited guests and monitor any other potential problems. Trained party monitors should be present to respond to situations. A ratio of one party monitor for every 20 attendees is suggested. Party monitors should agree to the following: a. Not to consume alcohol, and remain sober for the duration of the event. b. Make sure the party starts and ends on time and that the bar opens and closes on time. c. Wear distinctive clothing to identify themselves at all times. Buses, taxis, phone numbers, etc. should be provided for any event to promote the safe return of members and guests. Hard liquor (alcohol rated by proof rather than percentage) should be prohibited from all parties. For bring your own parties, a six pack of beer (or the alcoholic equivalent), or less, per person is allowed. Glass bottles of any sort should not be allowed. Restrict consumption of any beverages to cans and plastic cups. Date of Review ____________________
