CONDUCT
To ensure the General Convention and Beta Theta Pi continue to maintain a reputation of excellence and high standards, the Fraternity expects all Convention attendees to govern themselves accordingly, respecting the property and rights of the hotels and residence halls, as well as other guests. Please be advised that alcohol is not permitted to be consumed in public areas outside and the laws of the host state apply to all participants. Conduct will be monitored and enforced by off-duty University police officers. If a disturbance or issue is reported, it will be addressed in accordance with Beta’s Convention Standards Procedures: • First Offense: Individuals will receive a warning and be asked to discontinue the actions of disturbance. Individuals will be given notice of the consequences of a second offense. • Second Offense: Individuals will be asked to return to their assigned room and, if present, all alcohol will be confiscated and discarded. Individuals will be given notice of the consequences of a third offense. Individuals will be asked to meet with the Convention Marshal, Regional Chief, District Chief and Chapter Delegate the next morning. • Third Offense: Individuals will be asked to leave the General Convention and will no longer be allowed to participate in related activities or events. No travel fees or registration fees will be refunded. The General Fraternity will follow up on the incident post-Convention. • Depending on the severity of one’s action(s), the Fraternity reserves the right to utilize good judgment in addressing each situation. Actions of the individual may result in immediate removal from campus and Convention.
SMOKING AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS
The entire campus of Miami University, as well as Beta’s Foundation and Administrative Office, are 100% smoke- and tobacco-free. This includes all buildings and grounds (including the Marcum Center). Guests wanting to use tobacco products must do so in Uptown Oxford (west of Campus Avenue).
