Alcohol Policy
All 21 year old guests will be able to bring six 12 oz aluminum cans of beer to Rites of Spring each day. Coolers are allowed. Guests can combine their beers in one cooler if they enter together. No one is allowed to bring more than 12 beers together.
Third party security officers will check IDs and issue different colored bracelets each day to of-age guests. Third party security will have 2007 ID booklets to verify IDs and a list of Vanderbilt students who are over 21. VUPD officers will be monitoring the crowd at all times. Intoxicated persons will not be allowed to enter the event. All persons under 21 found drinking will be required to get rid of their beer. They will be removed from the event if they do not comply. |

Security
There will be VUPD officers, Rites of Spring staff and security specifically designated to monitor the crowd. They will be constantly walking among the crowd throughout the event. Security will also be located at the entrances to all residence halls in the Alumni Lawn perimeter.
All bags will be subject to security check.
Security staffing will include VUPD, security and Rites of Spring staff. Throughout the lawn and the surrounding areas, security will assess intoxicated persons, under-age drinking and general event management. Should Office of the Dean of Students Staff personnel or Rites of Spring staff encounter intoxicated persons or under-age drinking, they will confront the behavior and if the intervention is unfavorable or uncomfortable for the security staff, they will call Office of the Dean of Students Staff Designee, VUPD or security. |
Reducing Risk
Rites of Spring is committed to reducing the risks and negative consequences of alcohol consumption at the event. We will ensure cabs are available during the last two hours of the event for off campus guests.
Announcements about cab availability and DUI prevention will be made at appropriate times during the evenings.
All guests may bring one unopened bottled water to the event to be checked by security at the entrances. Vanderbilt Dining will facilitate the additional sale of water and soda on the lawn. No outside food is allowed into the event except small snacks for special dietary needs. This will be monitored at the entrances. |
Coolers & Chairs
Rites of Spring staff is committed to the safety of all participants at the event. Security staff will monitor unsafe use of coolers and chairs. Should participants stand on the coolers or chairs, they will be asked to sit down. If they do not comply, they will be removed from the event. Further, should it be evaluated that coolers or chairs are problematic at any time during the event, an alternative plan will be enforced and coolers and chairs will no longer be allowed at the event. No folding chairs other than low seated concert chairs will be allowed (chairs must sit less than 1 ft off the ground). |
