Alexis Roosa ’05 said she has been to parties at the Fox Club every weekend since the beginning of school.

“I haven’t had a problem because I’m friends with people who are officers,” Roosa said. “But I’ve never been upstairs during the party.”

Roosa said all parties have been held only downstairs or in the backyard, as opposed to last year, when parties were frequently held upstairs.

Sarah M. Poage ’05 said the AD Club had a party with a guest list.

“I know that some clubs won’t let non-members in,” said Rebecca K. Gomez ’04. “It’s sad. Clubs are a big part of the after-hours social life.”

“I haven’t heard of much going on this year, ” Poage said.

Josue Portillo ’03 said he has heard some Owl Club members may become inactive due to the new policy that has closed its doors to non-members.

“Going inactive will bankrupt the clubs,” Webb said.

“I go to final clubs less frequently because of grad board policy, or at least what I’ve heard,” said Leila Chirayath ’04, who said she learned of the stricter guest policies from friends in the clubs.

Chirayath said she heard the clubs revised their guest policies because of liability issues involving sexual assault and the consumption of alcohol.

Gomez said she heard final clubs are now liable for criminal incidents that occur as a result of the alcohol they serve.

She also heard that the Fly hired professional bouncers for its Calypso party.

Sarah N. Calkin ’04 said she has heard that drinking, violence and rape at the clubs has led them to limit their parties to invite-only guests.

Daniel L. Seltzer ’05 said he was punched by the Porcellian Club and the Fox Club but did not attend their events.

With the prospect of closed-door policies, the clubs have lost their appeal for him, he said.
