For years it has been apparent that the current alcohol policy is not supported or followed by the student body. Because this has been brought to the attention of SGA multiple times, I feel it would be best if I could document the amount of supporters that we have on campus for a change in the current policy. I would like to be clear that by signing this petition you are just saying you are in support of some sort of change to the current policy - whether that be registering your room to be "wet", a pub on/near campus, or whatever the revisions may be. If you feel that our policy needs revision please help me by signing this petition!

I have been hearing stories from so many of you who feel stifled by the current rules and I want you to know that your experiences are fueling my resolve. I am currently working on a proposal to present to the administration that reflects your desire for a more reasonable campus culture.

Seeing this level of support confirms that I am not the only student exhausted by our current policy. Reading your stories about how these rules impact our daily lives has been eye-opening and deeply validating.

I feel it will be a safer environment and remove this rebellious habit on campus. It also will be treating us as adults
This would be a step in the right direction. Being in a dry campus hasn’t taught anyone not to drink or kept them from doing so. It’s simply taught everyone to be more sneaky about it. Like visitation hours in rooms of the opposite sex, drinking rules are out dated and never adhered to anyway.
I believe the policy should be changed in order to prevent innocent students from getting in trouble. I feel as though a bar across the street from campus would be a safe environment to prevent people from drinking and driving if they do not have a DD. Students are going to drink whether or not there is an alcohol policy. The best way to ensure everyone is safe is to change the policy and allow people who are at least 21 to consume alcohol on campus.
I believe that if you are 21 you should not get penalized for having an alcoholic beverage when it is completely in your rights to do so. From my understanding you can also get in trouble for getting intoxicated off campus then coming back. I do however understand that it would be radical to ask for the whole campus to become wet immediately. So, I propose that we have “wet zones” so that students of age can enjoy, openly, and alcoholic beverage. Such zones might include the village.
Make it wet people over 21 shouldn't be getting in trouble that they are legal for
For bo
Make Young Harris Great again

This policy is very outdated and does not discourage drinking in any way. If anything it just courages people to drink because they feel as though they’ve gotten away with something. It’s a silly rule that is only being supported still because people who do not represent the student body well support it.
