Overview
We at Sigma Beta Rho believe that community service doesn’t always have
to consist of beautifying a park or volunteering countless hours at any facility.
Rewarding as any activity may be, we feel as though once in a while, serving the
less fortunate should be exciting, adventurous, and memorable. With these ideas
in mind we’ve created “DRINK STRONG 2010”, a pub crawl specifically designed to
raise money for charity in a social atmosphere.
The Charities
SOS Children’s Village
o SOS Children's Village (http://www.sos-usa.org) is an organization that builds villages
across the globe, with the goal of providing a comfortable, family-oriented place to live for
orphaned or abandoned children.
o The following quote from their website best explains their impact: “Children who have
been abandoned or orphaned come to SOS Children's Villages where they are integrated
into a loving family environment. They are nurtured and supported by an SOS Mother
and up to 15 other children in their SOS home who become their SOS brothers and
sisters. Strong bonds develop within these „SOS families‟, and even after the children
are grown and leave the village, these family relationships endure.”
Children International
o Children International (www.children.org) is the second organization that will be
receiving our help. Sponsoring a child is something that has been brought up in the past
as a worthwhile philanthropic cause, and with good reason: it offers a rare philanthropic
opportunity to directly impact a child’s life. Children International is one of the premier
philanthropic organizations that allow for child-sponsoring. The main program asks for
$22 dollars a month in order to sponsor one child, and given that small sum our fraternity
has a chance to largely improve the lives of many, many children for an extended period
of time.
The Rules - Official
First and Foremost this events purpose is to raise money for
charity and should be treated as such.
All participants must be at least 21 years or older.
All participants enter the crawl at their own risk.
All participants must sign a liability waiver before entering
the crawl.
Know your limits and moderation is the key for daily alcohol
intake.
Please respect the drinking establishments, patrons and bar
staff associated with pub crawl events. We appreciate your
participation and want all our friends to exit the event with a
positive experience. It’s ultimately the establishment’s call if
you’re cut off or kicked out, so again, know your social and
consumption limits.
The patrons of the pub crawl will travel together from pub
to pub during specified times throughout the night.
The participants will be split into two teams throughout the
night. Challenges will be held in which both teams
participate. The team who wins the greater number of
challenges is the overall victor of the event.
If a participant is overly intoxicated they will first be warned
about their actions. If that person continues to act
unacceptably they will be asked to leave.
Crawl participants MUST compete in non-alcoholic
challenges throughout the night if requested and have the
option to decline an alcohol related challenge at their
option.
The coordinators of the pub crawl are not responsible for
any injury, accidents, financial penalties, or any action that
comes from a direct result of alcohol
The Rules – Unofficial
Those who may be of a sensitive or of nervous disposition are
not permitted to complain, vomit or cry if any of the more lewd
imbibers choose to reveal personal, graphic or intimate details
of their life or anatomy.
Do not harass or clown pubcrawlers more intoxicated than you
are, as they are at liberty to blame their behavior on the beer.
Sigma Beta Rho cannot condone any blackmail activities that
take place as a direct result of images being caught on film
during a Drink Strong Pubcrawl.
Participation of any crawl event shall be considered to equate
to consent being granted for personal images captured to be
uploaded and displayed on the World Wide Web. This ruling is
retroactive.
Anybody caught drinking a non-alcoholic beverage without an
authentic doctor’s note or excuse deemed valid by the group
will from then on be supervised by a more responsible crawler.
To date, limited sexual activity between patrons and crawlers
has been reported during a Pubcrawl. Feel free to encourage
and change this, we do have a reputation to keep up after all.
Sexual relations with anybody else’s girl/boyfriend is socially
prohibited and may cause unnecessary friction within the
group, however, shameless flirting is encouraged.
Complaining about who you end up sleeping with as a result of
the Pubcrawl is strictly prohibited. You had plenty of time to
see them while you were sober. “I was drunk” is never an
excuse for any behavior.
Discrediting any crawl group members, patrons and future
crawl events because of personal relationship issues with other
attendees, is strictly prohibited. Grown men and women work
out their own relationship issues, maturely with their
prospective date/partner/hook ups; we are not in high school
anymore kids.
You may not, under any circumstances, use an empty beer
glass because you can’t be bothered to go to the toilet. Some
poor sod might end up drinking that, mistaking it for
Hefeweizen. Side Note: It is the brewers fault if the beer tastes
like piss and we encourage ridicule.
If you need to vomit, you may do so on the conditions that
nobody else sees, and you replace the lost alcohol forthwith.
Sleeping in the Pub shall be punishable by severe mockery. This
shall be diminished however if you have already finished your
beer.
