Caitlin Roberts, the CSULB Greek Life coordinator, says that alcohol, drugs, and boy/girl sleep overs are strictly forbidden in all sorority and fraternity houses. "I can't imagine such a strong Greek system without Caitlin being our advisor, and everyone can be her best friend, but at the same time she knows how to put her foot down," said Justin Downes, the vice president of the IFC Chapter at CSULB.
Housing for Greeks:
Housing is controlled by an organization of alumni that the members pay to. "Availability and preference determine which room you're in," said a sorority member who lives in a Greek house. There can be anywhere from 8 to 12 members per household, so sometimes it can get a little crazy. Some members may share the larger rooms or may have a room all to themselves. Food tends to not be communal as members clearly mark which products belong to them. There is an unspoken mutual understanding that every member respects each other's property no matter what.
Fact:
Although the houses are located near campus, sorority members are more likely to drive to the CSULB campus because "its just easier and Long Beach is not the most safest place to walk or bike through," said an anonymous member.
Alcohol Rules:
Fraternities and sororities must be familiar with the State of California laws regulating the sale of alcoholic bevergaes. No alcoholic beverages may be sold without a valid license from. No monet whasoever, including donations, entertaninment fees, or the collection of money from students, may be collected at any function where alcoholic beverages are being provided or sold, unless a valid liscence and permission is given (which usually is not given to farternities or sororities on college campuses. Therefore, no chapter members may provide alcoholic beverages directly or indirectly to members or guests by selling tickets or cups, by collecting admission fees, etc.

No alcoholic beverages shall be present at any pledge, associate, new members program or activity, including; initiation or pre-initiation activities, pledge retreats, meetings, big brother/big sister revealing, etc.
