i OS A Invokes Fraternity Ban The first weekend of the school year has in the past been celebrated by numerous fraternity parties along with the annual kick-off mixer and the first happy hour of the year. This years commencement weekend was conspicuously void of the usual fraternity socials, however, for three police-attended parties earlier in the week caused the Office of Student Affairs to place a ban on all fraternity parties for three days. Problems arose during the first days of school when parties overflowed into the yards of fraternity houses along Institute Road due to the heat and the size of the crowd. Neighborhood residents, who have become sensitive to the disruptions caused by the many fraternities in the area over the years, called the Worcester police to the scene. Though the fraternities could have been charged with serving alcohol to minors and disturbing the peace, no formal action was taken. The ban resulted in the OS As imposition of several guidelines which were to govern the parties for the remainder of the year. These restrictions, which included limiting the number of parties per week and requiring a hired policeman at all open parties, helped to control the situation and decrease the number of complaints from neighbors.
