Lehigh’s Off-Campus Party Facts

1. “The police have the ability to identify your organization by checking who lives in the residence and matching it with the student database.” Therefore, the police are within their rights to hold an organization responsible for an off-campus party.
2. “Almost all drinking-related student hospitalizations involve hard alcohol.” This can increase the risk for legal ramifications.
3. There are substantial fines associated with “holding a disruptive social event,” such as a $230 fine for disorderly house per resident, a $1,000 fine per resident for serving alcohol to minors and a $225 fine, court fees and loss of license for an underage drinking citation.
4. You are responsible for anyone in your off-campus house, and can be held liable for them.
5. “The police department has made it clear they will be forced to impose serious sanctions and aggressively target students who put others’ safety at risk. The Liquor Control Board has already offered to step in.”
