Talley Student Center is opening its doors again to allow the 452 student organizations and Greek Life to host late-night parties, but with additional requirements expected from students.

A total ban of late-night parties resulted after a student was stabbed while attending a party hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity last September.

Hosting organizations of a late-night party at Talley must now provide a minimum of $1,200 worth of security and have two security officers on hand. The required amount is non-negotiable, according to Director of Talley Student Center Deb Luckadoo.

“To have parties you want to have, these issues must be resolved,” Luckadoo said to the members of student organizations who attended Thursday’s Talley Task Force meeting.

Some students said they felt the extra costs of security exceeded most student organization budgets.

“Talley parties aren’t going to happen anymore,” Adam Compton, senior in agricultural business management and member of Delta Upsilon fraternity, said.

He said he knew his fraternity would not be able to afford the new costs to host a party.

Compton also calculated that about one-fifth of the proceeds from selling tickets at $10 each for the duration of a party would go solely toward security.

“[Delta Upsilon] would make more money at Pi Bar,” Compton said.

Even other venues outside of campus, such as Pi Bar, are being affected by the changes at Talley.

Warren M. Perry, president of Kappa Alpha Psi, said he noticed an increase in price at other venues since Talley cancelled all late-night parties.

He said his fraternity paid just less than $1,000 to host a party at Pi Bar. Another organization recently hosted a party at Pi Bar for $1,100.

Perry said he felt the increased prices were because students are now limited to certain locations to host parties and are forced into paying the requested amount at local, popular spots.

Kappa Alpha Psi is planning to host a party at Talley Nov. 17, despite the increase in costs.

Perry said he wants to keep the tradition of hosting parties at Talley. He said he felt the close location and the alcohol-free policy would keep the attendees safe.

Randy Colby, manager of reservation and event management, said Talley is making an effort to put in its own security for late-night parties by adding cameras to the entrances and ensuring a student identification card scanner is being used to keep a database of the guests.

Student organizations are also encouraged to purchase insurance for the night of a party, according to Pam Gerace, director of Student Legal Services.

Organizations hosting a party can be held liable in court for actions during a party, not the University, Gerace said.

“You may be at NCSU, and you may be a student at NCSU, but you’re not NCSU,” Gerace said.

Despite added protection of national policies for Greek life organizations, lawsuits from late-night parties can still affect Greeks and their families, according to Shelly Brown Dobek, associate director of Greek Life.

“[The plaintiffs] go after parents and their homeowner’s insurance,” Brown Dobek said. “You’re considered an adult, but not sometimes in the eye of the law.”

Perry said he hopes his fraternity’s upcoming late-night party will be a successful fundraiser, while maintaining a safe and fun atmosphere. He said he also hopes the Talley Force will realize that some of the additional security costs and other requirements are unnecessary.

“Last year’s [stabbing] was a fluke,” Perry said. “It was an isolated incident.”
