In short, the school is strict when they catch people, but if you’re smart about when, where, and how you do things, it’s likely that you won’t ever be caught. The easiest ways to get in trouble are still drinking, smoking pot, fighting, or being some sort of public nuisance. The police are less of an investigatory team and more of a prodding response team and will sometimes patrol the campus looking to catch troublemakers.
Once caught for something, the school’s response can be varying. The strictness of your dorm directors can play a large role, with some students getting off with a warning and some students forced into community service or counseling. In extreme cases, students can be suspended. During freshman year, it is not uncommon to have a strict RA, which can be annoying and force you to be mischievous elsewhere, but lax RAs and SAs let students drink openly in their dorm rooms without fear of getting caught. Outside of the dorms is not as safe for troublemaking as it used to be, and would-be offenders are finding their lives a lot more hectic recently. In short, it’s best to play it safe. Emory can be strict with rule breaking, but at the same time, it’s very easy to get away with many things.
