Geneva = Fail
Going to college at Geneva in the spring... check out some of these hip and happening policies 
All I gotta say is:
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES
Morally unacceptable practices according to Biblical teaching are not acceptable for members of the Geneva College
community. Specific acts such as drunkenness, stealing, the use of slanderous or profane language, all forms of harassment, all forms of dishonesty, involvement in or depiction of occult or satanic activity, sexual sins (i.e. premarital sex, cohabitation with a member of the opposite sex, rape, adultery, homosexual behavior, abortion, etc.), and the use or display of obscene and/or pornographic materials will not be tolerated. (See Romans 1:18-32, Galatians 5:19-21, Ephesians 4:28; 5:18, Colossians 3:5-9, I Thessalonians 4
-5, Hebrews 13
-5.)
In addition, Scripture condemns such attitudes as greed, jealousy, pride, lust, bitterness, needless anger, an unforgiving
spirit, and harmful discrimination and prejudice that is based on race, religion, gender or socioeconomic status. While these attitudes may be difficult to detect, they are as subject to the judgment of God as outward forms of disobedience to Him.
When under the jurisdiction of the College (i.e. on College property, at College-sponsored events or on College-sponsored trips), students are expected to practice discretion and restraint and honor the standards of the College. Some of the behaviors prohibited on campus are: social dancing; use or possession of alcoholic beverages, use or possession of illegal drugs, or use of any form of tobacco; vandalism; extreme public displays of affection; membership in secret societies; and possession or use of weapons of any kind.
DANCING
Geneva College does not allow on-campus dancing, except for square dancing, line dancing, and traditional folk dancing. In addition, the College does not allow college clubs, classes, organizations, athletic teams, etc. to sponsor off-campus dances that feature dancing except for square dancing, line dancing, and traditional folk dancing.
Students who individually desire to dance off campus may do so, but are encouraged to make wise decisions about the
environments to which they go. Geneva College’s name or the name of any official campus organization is not to be used in the advertisement (posted either on or off campus) of off-campus dances. Appropriate posters can be displayed on campus bulletin boards and/or walls using “sticky-tac” (not tape) after the advertisement has been approved in accordance with the stated policy found on page 186.
We desire our students to be:
1. BIBLICALLY PRINCIPLED - Members of the student body are to abide by the wisdom of Scripture and are
expected to avoid behavior that is in conflict with its teaching.
Examples of behavior which constitute a violation of this Community Standard include, but are not limited to:
a) Observance of the Sabbath. Members of the community are not to participate in varsity competitions, play
organized sports on College playing fields and/or lawns, vacuum, or do laundry on Sunday. In addition, College sponsored events should not be scheduled on Sundays.
b) Satanic or occult behaviors and/or the possession of satanic or occult material.
c) Gambling - exchange of monies or possessions through betting and chance - on campus, at a College-sponsored
event, or online through the college network.
d) Use of profanity.
SEXUALLY PURE - All members of the student body are expected to respect the gift of sexuality that God has given
and to make wise decisions regarding sexual purity. Students are expected to refrain from involvement in sexual
relationships until marriage and to refrain from the use of pornography.
Examples of behavior which constitute a violation of this Community Standard include, but are not limited to:
a) Involvement in sexual sins including but not limited to sex outside of a marriage covenant and/or homosexual acts.
b) Possession, sale, distribution, or use of pornographic material including but not limited to magazines, posters,
videos, DVDs, photographs and/or computer-generated images.
VISITATION
Geneva College does not permit open visitation. However, the following hours are intended to provide students with the
ability to have members of the opposite sex visit their rooms. Those residents participating in visitation must keep their
room door completely open and the room well lit with either an overhead light or ample accessory lighting. Young Hall,
Geneva Arms, and the Schoolhouse residents are to entertain in the front living room only.
VISITATION HOURS
Wednesday ...7:00 p.m.-12:00 a.m.
Friday ...6:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m.
Saturday...6:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m.
Sunday... 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
Members of the opposite sex may also visit each other in visitors’ lounges seven days a week from 10:00 a.m. to midnight
(1:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays).
So whats the punishment for most of these if you're caught?
The College Community is obliged to challenge these attitudes when evidenced, and assist the offender in seeking God’s forgiveness and help, in order that she/he might grow in grace and righteousness.
CLIFFSNOTES: Am I going to college or prison? I highlighted some of the funnier parts...
