Sponsorship is determined by an organization's planning, promotion, and financing of the function rather than by the number of members attending the event. 
2. Drinking. Alcoholic beverages may not be served on campus or in approved housing. If alcoholic beverages are served at a social function (not held on the campus or in approved housing), it is the duty and responsibility of the sponsoring organization.
