Joint Policy on Risk Management, Event Policy and Procedures:

• The possession, sale, use or consumption of alcoholic beverages during a fraternity or sorority event/council event/co-sponsored function, in any situation sponsored or endorsed by the chapter(s)/council, or at any event an observer would associate with the chapter(s)/council, must be in compliance with any and all applicable federal, state, province, county, city, and Colorado State University laws and policies, and must comply with either BYOB or Third Party Vendor Event Procedures, as outlined below. All chapter facilities must be substance free with the exception of approved BYOB tailgating events on home football game days following appropriate procedures. Substance free is defined as no alcohol or controlled substance on chapter premises. Under Colorado law, it is illegal for a person under the age of 21 to possess an alcoholic beverage, for a minor to possess a false identification with the intent to violate alcoholic beverages laws, and to provide, furnish, sell, barter, exchange, or give away an alcoholic beverage to a person under age 21.

Joint Policy on Risk Management, Event Policy and Procedures, BYOB Event Procedures:

• ID Checks and Wristbands/Stamps. Non-removable wristbands or non-transferable hand stamps should be given out at the entrance to the party and only issued to those of legal drinking age. Acceptable identification is a picture identification with the date of birth on the identification. (Co)Sponsoring chapters are responsible for checking IDs and issuing wristbands/stamps to their
  members and individuals on the guest list they submitted.
• Procedure for BYOB Events. Once a person of legal drinking age with alcohol has entered the event and been confirmed on the guest list, the individual obtains a wristband/stamp from the door monitor. In addition, if the individual brought alcohol to the event, they will also receive a ticket indicating each beverage that is checked in, personalized with the type and brand of alcohol the individual brought. A sober monitor will then take the alcohol the individual brought to the
  bar. When guests of a legal drinking age want one of their beverages, they turn in a ticket and present their wristband/stamp to obtain one of the drinks they brought to the event. An individual may only receive one alcoholic beverage at a time and each time the individual must turn in a ticket to the bartender. Alcohol brought to the event by an individual of legal drinking age is for that individual’s consumption and the alcohol is not to be given away, sold, or otherwise provided
  to others.
