SA Drinking Game
Sip, chug, and gulp your way through a Student Association meeting!

As a conscientious journalist, I won't be throwing back any Yuengling while I attend Student Association Senate meetings. Don't let my propriety fool you, though; I wish that was possible, because the business of government is enough to drive a man to drink, and drink, and drink again. Tell the Senate to get a liquor license and an open bar, and we'll talk.
For those of-age students interested in combining Robert's Rules with Gordon's Gin, however, I'm happy to present a drinking game to accompany the S.A. Senate's bimonthly meetings. Get ready to get really drunk while learning about student government at Our Fair University!
Take a sip whenever:
- Any of the following words or phrases is spoken:
- Bylaw
- Amendment
- Allocations
- Financial
- Administration (i.e., Knapp & Co.)
- Constitution
- Student fee
- Student court
- Student "org"
- Unity Ball
- Greek life
- Green
- Motion
- Someone forgets to make sure the microphone is turned on.
- Someone "motions for the previous question."
- Time for debate has to be extended.
Take a gulp whenever:
- Someone mentions Robert's Rules
- Someone makes a "point of parliamentary inquiry."
- Someone objects to Executive Vice President Boyer's handling of parliamentary procedure.
- Someone attempts a joke and falls flat on his or her face. Metaphorically, of course. (Double gulp if the joke involves the University's Office of General Counsel.)
Chug during:
- President Aswani's statement.
- Any statement made by Tim Miller.
- Any speech by Senator Laverone that sounds too good to have been unscripted (which is all them).
Down your drink if:
- An important measure designed to increase financial transparency is postponed or rejected.
- More than three people actually choose to make a statement during the passing of the gavel.
- The Senate votes on a motion to vote on an amendment to an amendment to a bill.
- Any Senator shills for a student group within which they are an officer.
- By the end of the debate, you still don't know what it means to "motion for the previous question."
