APO Nu Rho Bylaws

Changes november 2009

EXCERPT: Alcoholic Beverages

Be advised that the consumption of alcohol by any persons under the age of 21 is illegal according to the Law of the Commonwealth of Virginia. No brother, neophyte, or pledge may under any circumstances consume, supply, or bring alcohol to an "APO event." An APO event is any event recorded in the official minutes of an Executive Board meeting, thereby sanctioned by the Executive Board. APO events include all pledging events and clue week. The single exception to this policy is the Senior Toast, which is held annually at Spring Formal.

Requiring or compelling the forced consumption of any liquid (including alcohol) or solid substance is against the William and Mary Statement on Hazing. Therefore, no pledge is required or should feel compelled to drink any alcoholic beverage in order to complete requirements or participate in any social activities. Any brother found in violation of the William and Mary Statement on Hazing may be tried by the Executive Board.
Any brother, neophyte, or pledge may report a hazing or membership policy violation. After a report has been filed regarding an alleged hazing violation, the offending brother may only be brought to trial with the consent of the victim. Violations of the Alpha Phi Omega Nu Rho Membership Policy will be handled by the Executive Board, in the manner described by the Alpha Phi Omega Nu Rho Bylaws.
