Our Zero Tolerance Policy

The philosophy of the Campus Recreation at The George Washington University envelopes and promotes the holistic approach to leisure; satisfaction derived through direct participation. No individual will be permitted to participate in any club sport while under the influence of these harmful substances. If participants do not adhere to this regulation they will be removed from the sport club program. This infraction will jeopardize future participation in our Campus Recreation programs. Clubs are also prohibited from advertising any fundraising events on or off campus where alcohol will be consumed by attendees. An infraction of this nature can result in all Campus Recreation funding being stripped from the club.
