Disciplinary action?

Hello, I am currently a freshman at Emory University. I plan on applying to the business school next year. Unfortunately, I've been written up a whopping 6 times, one of which was expunged due to medical amnesty. Most of these write ups are very minor. I was a witness in one, and I had a lounge chair in my dorm room for the other. The rest had to do with alcohol and marijuana. I have talked to my res life director multiple times for up to an hour and I can tell he doesn't want me to get in too much trouble with the school. With that being said, how likely is it that I will be suspended from Emory? While getting kicked out of the residence hall would suck, I would much rather have that happen than be booted from such a great institution. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

But, yes B-school admissions is gonna be hard with those violations.
I believe that's where I'm headed. My res hall director has been incredibly kind with me as we talk on nearly an every other day basis. My academics are not the issue at the moment and hopefully I can keep it that way as long as I don't screw myself with finals lol. The cases in general aren't serious at all besides the marijuana incident, as the state of Georgia is very strict with that.
Sort of silly rule but it does make sense.
You don't respect the rules at Emory and you expect others to be "respectful" of you? If you continue with your past behavior it is very serious.
And you will have to bear the consequences for participating in that scene.
Aaaaand you don't get to delete your threads, either.
I say this to you, @will97, not to lecture you but because if you come across that way to the Conduct Committee I don't like your chances. Because like it or not that is how you are coming across on here, IMO.
But on the other hand, perhaps @TomSrOfBoston comment on "Why don't you just obey the rules? That would make sense." came off more snark than it had to be. I am currently a freshman also and while his comment is justifiable as a fellow 18 year old I feel that I could relate to why @will97 would be upset by that remark.
I will disagree to some extent about the severity of the violation. Of course it isn't on the order of many other offenses, but it is the type of thing that changes a campus (or a company or a town) if left unchecked. Because clearly if students keep taking these things, and there is no reason to think that kind of behavior stops with lawn chairs, then of course the university will stop providing them. And that is the difference between "It seemed like a really nice campus that was a welcoming place to be" and "Oh I don't know. It seemed kind of plain and sterile to me, certainly not too different from some other campuses we saw. And definitely not as nice as some where they did some cool stuff for the students." It is subtle perhaps, but things like that help set the atmosphere for the school.
