Fraternities and sororities at the University of Virginia will be operating under new rules when students return to campus Monday.
President Teresa Sullivan has accepted suggestions from leaders of the Greek community, putting them into new agreements to be signed by each house.
Among other things, fraternities must have at least three sober members during any event where alcohol is served. They will be assigned to pour glasses of wine and to guard stairs leading to bedrooms.
Beer must be served in cans or bottles, and hard liquor can only be served by a licensed bartender. Pre-mixed drinks and punch will no longer be on offer, but food and bottled water must be available.
The new rules are designed to prevent the use of date rape drugs.
