Questions about Social Life

Colleges and Universities A-Z Pepperdine University
1

<p>Ever since I discovered Pepperdine, I knew that it would be an amazing college. However I am beginning to wonder (and worry) how strict the rules of the dry campus are. I'm not going to lie, I am looking forward to being able to let loose in college, not all the time, but I would like to party on weekends. I am just curious what the drinking/partying situation is like at Pepperdine. I've heard that there are parties off campus, but does that mean at upperclassmen houses in Malibu or just on the beach or other local places? Also if that's the case, I would imagine drunk driving to be more of a situation at Pepperdine than other colleges.</p>

<p>Anyway, I am just curious if you can get away with drinking occasionally on campus or if that is just completely out of the question. Also I know the fraternities and sororities are supposed to be "different" from other colleges, and I am also wondering if they ever throw little "get togethers" on/off campus.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>My D parties on the weekend at apts, etc. of students who live off campus. They are really good about having a dd or staying overnight. As far as drinking on campus, I know it does happen, but if caught, not tolerated. Often it depends on the RA, but i think most students don't want to put their RA in a bad position. I think my D has a pretty active social life. She does belong to a a sorority and they do have parties off campus with frats. They also have quite a few other get togethers. My D isn't a real "sorority girl" type, but is glad she joined for the friends and activities involved.</p>
