| If you dnn't drink they don't want to put you with people who drink and party (hosts are older). Rice is an open campus, so private parties in rooms are somewhat ignored. At Public parties they are very careful to proof students. They try to match people up and this is one area that is important so you don't get turned off if you eiher do or do not a drink. Remember most students are judging whether or not to accept. If a committed non drinker ended up with a party groups they would mis judge the campus (or the other way), where there are drinkers and non drinkers, but no social pressure to drink if you dn't want to. Also important are sleep schedules and quiet versus outgoing people. |
