 New rules at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo places new limitations on alcohol availability at fraternity and sorority parties, the Huffington Post reported.

The new party registration policy, which was developed by Greek life students," forbids students, including those 21 or older, from taking shots, playing beer pong and other activities that "encourages" intoxication.

Keith Humphrey, the university's vice president for student affairs, said the administration approved the policy after fraternities and sororities agreed on it.

The policy was enacted Wednesday.

"We believe this is an important new tool in helping our students maintain their own health and well-being and develop good neighbor and community relations," Humphrey said in a statement.

Among its regulations, the policy limits the days and times when fraternity and sorority parties may be held and caps their duration at five hours. Underage drinking is also banned, and party hosts must develop a wristband system to prevent drinking by those under 21. It reinforces a ban on hard alcohol, kegs and other large-volume containers.

The policy requires that all parties of 100 or more guests be registered 10 days in advance and all parties of fewer than 100 be registered five days in advance. A guest list must be submitted for each party 24 hours before the event.

The new rule also lays out a judicial process in case an organization disobeys the rules.

"The first two offenses would lead to a written warning and a student Greek judicial council meeting, respectively," the press release states. "Subsequent offenses will lead to immediate social probation. In all cases, the judicial council and Dean of Students Office would review and could issue additional sanctions based on the nature of each infraction."

Drinking games among Greeks at California Polytechnic State University has remained under scrutiny in recent years, following the 2008 death of first-year student Carson Starkey. Starkey died from alcohol poisoning during a fraternity ritual, the Huffington Post reported.
