<p>Since I dont know anyone at Cornell I was thinking about just going up for Cornell days with a few friends. If we go, how hard will it be to find a party to go to, and will we be able to easily get in?</p>
<p>rachel you do realize that if you get caught, ur acceptance could get rescinded, right?</p>
<p>idk how smart it would be to go by yourself...</p>
<p>going by yourself reduces the rescinded-ness risk because you haven't made any agreement not to go to fraternities. also, the only way you'll get caught is if you get into a fight or if a party gets busted and you actually are seen with a drink in your hand or act belligerant toward the cop. if you see a cop just flat out drop your drink on the floor. </p>
<p>anyways, my point is that you are exceedingly unlikely to get caught no matter what, and that if you don't go officially as part of cornell days, cornell doesn't have a direct reason to rescind you because you didn't sign a form agreeing not to go to fraternity parties. It would be no worse than getting caught for underage drinking at a party at princeton university after getting accepted to cornell.</p>
<p>You won't have trouble finding parties if you know some people to talk to, but you might have trouble getting in spring semester if you don't actually know anybody in the house. spring parties are more often closed because there are lots of frat/sororioty mixers and pledge parties going on. I haven't been to an open party this semester yet, but I've been to more parties than I can count because I know the right people. (either my frat, a friends frat, a friend's party, etc.)</p>
<p>Also, if you're alone you might get turned away because you could be an undercover or intern trying to bust the party. If you're a group of girls then there's a lot more reason to trust you/let you in. If you have a campus ID that helps a lot if you're alone. Also, i don't think any frat would turn away hot girls, but, sad to say, the ones who typically have their choice of girls on campus might turn away some homely looking ones.</p>
<p>If your host is chill he will take you to parties. If your host is anal, find friends who are there visiting as well and tell your host you're "going to hang out with your friends."</p>
<p>Disclaimer: I don't necessarily condone you breaking the rules :)</p>
<p>Most of the parties second semester are mixers and are not open parties. There might be a couple of open parties in a given weekend, but the one I was at when our mixer was cancelled was absolutely packed. Do your friends know people in fraternities or sororities?</p>
<p>wait...how is that breaking the rules. Why were you talking about a rescind risk?? Haha. If you're visiting for Cornell Days you aren't allowed to attend parties? Anyway...I def wont be alone, I'll be with my friends. The frats wouldnt turn away a group of girls right?</p>
<p>if you go to cornell days you are not allowed to go to the fraternity parties. if you were a group of ugly girls the they would...at least some of them.</p>
<p>Thats so weird I didnt know that. Then I guess I just wouldnt sign up for it. And my girls aren't ugly :)</p>
<p>If you don't go through the Red Carpet Society you can go to parties, I think.</p>
<p>exactly...i mean technically if you were to get busted for something bad like distributing coke to the frat brothers (as a prefrosh, haha) your police report would be a lot worse than getting caught with a drink in your hand, regardless of your location and connection to the school, and cornell would still have precident to rescind your offer of admission, but one, cornell is unlikely to do that regardless of the circumstances as long as, as said above, you're not distributing coke or something. Even if you were caught drinking at cornell days as an official visitor, nothing would probably happen.</p>
<p>but yeah, if you DON'T go through red carpet/cornell days officially, there's even less they have reasonable grounds to rescind your offer on, because you didn't sign a form.</p>
<p>all this is kind of null and void, because no matter what the chances of getting caught are way lower than in HS. It's perfectly fine to be drinking at a party and be trashed and see a cop walk in and just put your drink down and act relatively sober and orderly for the 5 minutes he's looking around. That reaction to the cop is common, the cop actually showing up is far less common. so yeah, regardless you should be fine. The only friends of mine who have been JA'd (judicial administrator= "going to the principal's office") were either caught drinking in their rooms, belligerently ripping posters off the wall in a dorm, and belligerently yelling outside one of the dorms to a cop that "I've gotta get in, sir...there's this b<strong>ch I've gotta f</strong>k, NOW!" and i've had tons of friends at tons of parties, so yeah, it's uncommon to be JA'd as long as your reasonably behaved, even if you are intoxicated. The most common 2 offenses are drinking in your dorm and peeing outside.</p>
<p>haha, ok, awesome. I just wont go through Cornell Days officially.</p>
