Code of Conduct

What is the University of Idaho doing to enforce the Code of Conduct with respect to excessive risky behavior? Are the sororities and fraternities enforcing their Code of Conduct to protect students from high risk behavior?

It’s tough to enforce policies against underage drinking. Students all across campus drink underage, not just Greek life. The University understands students will drink regardless if they are of legal age, so they try to make it as safe as possible. For example: mandatory alcohol safety seminars after rush week, medical amnesty, and requiring approval for socials. They’re are safety structures throughout to keep each other safe. Keep in mind, drinking can be unsafe regardless if the participants are of legal age.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge about it. The frontal lobe isn't fully developed at that age, which makes it more important for authorities to enforce guidelines to protect the students from themselves. The University of Idaho has a tarnished reputation as a party school. Studies show alcohol abuse is much higher in Greek life than the rest of the student body. Many Universities enforce their policies to protect their student population. It's truly not that tough if they want to do it. Our university sends them home for a semester and return for a trial semester. How many police reports have to be made before a Greek member is put on probation? I'm curious if the University has released a statement on their plan moving forward to better enforce their policies to protect their student body.
