(I.e. chapter announcing, social media ads, direct outreach to councils or chapters, advertising on campus and in the Fort Collins community). Please note, our hope is that chapters commit to hosting events that are open to all f/s community members, other CSU members and Fort Collins community members.

(i.e. Chipotle, PizzaRev, Fuzzy's)* Chapters cannot co-sponsor an event with an alcohol distributor or tavern (taverns are defined as an establishment generating more than half of their annual gross sales from alcohol) at which alcohol is given away, sold, or otherwise provided to those present. Chapters may not generate revenue from the sale of alcohol.
