Alcohol: Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages Outdoors

Beyond respecting the established legal restrictions, individuals may not be served, possess, or consume alcoholic beverages on institution-owned outdoor property unless an exception has been granted by the dean of the Seminary.

Though tailgate parties at which alcoholic beverages are served have become an established part of Homecoming, they conflict with the institution's policy of restricting the consumption of alcoholic beverages outdoors. Tailgating on institution-owned property is permitted at Homecoming under the following conditions: that it is restricted to a clearly defined area; that beer kegs are not allowed; that signs be prominently displayed around the playing fields and spectator stands indicating that the consumption of alcohol is prohibited in those areas; that any announcement of tailgate parties (e.g., communications with alumni) clearly state the institution's policy on underage drinking and alcohol abuse; and that the tailgate-party area be monitored by security personnel retained by the sponsoring organization. Tailgate parties are subject to all community laws and institutional policies on the consumption and dispensing of alcoholic beverages.
