The Interfraternity Council will host a party March 31 that follows "the rules."
The IFC will host its third annual "Party Done Right" from 8-11 p.m. at the Sigma Nu Fraternity house.
The party is designed to show Greek leaders how to host a party abiding by all IFC rules and national fraternity policies.
The event will feature live music from Tim Tyler, a local Auburn musician.
"Our goal from the event is to educate the Greek community," Albright said. "In attendance will be many of the campus' top Greek leaders and administrators."
Guidelines for the Party Done Right were established by the North American Interfraternity Conference and by Auburn IFC.
Rules are established for alcohol, drug use, hazing, sexual abuse, harassment and safety.
"From a guest list, to security guards, to alcohol check-in system, to sober monitors, all policies and procedures will be followed," said Johnny Blankenship, IFC president.
According to the guidelines, open parties where alcohol is served are prohibited. The party must be closed, having an invitation list with names and birthdays of all members and guests of the party.
People of drinking age and those who bring alcohol are required to wear a wristband during the event.
Attendees are allowed to bring six 12-ounce alcoholic beverages per person.
"The venue for the Party Done Right is typically provided by a fraternity whose respective location proves fit to support such an event," said Phillip Albright, IFC vice president of risk management.
According to Bo Mantooth, associate director of Greek life, the event is sponsored by IFC and supported by National Pan-Hellenic Councils, Panhellenic Councils and the Office of Greek Life.
"It's meant to be fun and entertaining all while following the policies and procedures that fraternities should implement when they host parties of their own," Blankenship said. "Auburn University IFC has gained nationwide recognition from this event as it is the first of its kind on any campus."
According to Blankenship, all fraternity and sorority presidents, social chairs, risk management chairs and guests will be in attendance at the Party Done Right. Student affairs administrators will also be invited to attend the event.
"We are excited about the success of this event in years past and look forward to again educating and promoting student safety with this year's Party Done Right," Blankenship said.
Approximately 400 students are expected to attend the party.
"The purpose of the event is to show each Greek organization the importance of following these policies and procedures while at the same time proving that fun does not necessarily have to be sacrificed in order to ensure safety," Albright said.
