After a weekend that has historically been problematic for public safety officers, Director of Public Safety Angela Nally said she was thankful to Interfraternity Council (IFC) and Panhellenic Council executives for educating greek chapters about appropriate behavior.
Saturday night was bid night for greek fraternities. The Public Safety activity log revealed one alcohol violation and two welfare checks. On Monday night, termed "Black Monday" by some students, there was one hospital transport and one alcohol violation.
Last year there were two alcohol violations and a welfare check on the same day.
"I think there was only one student referred to community standards for an alcohol violation," Nally said. "We did have two fraternities call for a welfare check for other students, so we are very grateful that they utilized medical services and their fraternity, their organization, would be covered under the university's Safe Community Clause."
Nally said additional officers were on duty Saturday as well as Monday night, but they had limited interaction with students.
"I think the executive boards of IFC and [Panhellenic] were trying to do some education slash preventive proactive measures to try to keep activities at a reasonable level, and we appreciate that," Nally said. "What our outside observation of events would lend us to believe that they were successful in that."
