The Office of Student Activities & Greek Life is responsible for approving all events with alcohol at the College. When a sponsoring organization is looking to serve alcohol at one of their events, they must indicate that on their 25Live request and fill out the subsequent Events with Alcohol form to provide additional information about the event.
All events with alcohol must follow the College's Social Event Policy.
There are three different types of events with alcohol that may take place at Gettysburg College. They are listed below.

Traditional Host Provider events mainly occur in the Attic or the CUB Ballroom. Events that happen in other locations tend to be Organization Managed Host Provider events.
This type of event with alcohol is one where the organization requests alcohol at their event, but is responsible for purchasing and serving the alcohol themselves.

This type of event with alcohol is one where the guests bring their own designated beverages to the event.
For BYOB events on campus, attendees must only bring alcohol that falls within the guidelines listed in the Social Event Policy and must check that alcohol in with the event host upon arrival to the event.
