At the K-Guild, we actively work to include everyone who wants to participate in our activities. An important part of this effort is fostering a healthy and thoughtful alcohol culture. Alcohol is never the main purpose of an event, and all of our activities are designed so that mentees can participate and have fun regardless of whether they choose to drink or not.
From Monday to Wednesday during the first week, all events are completely alcohol-free. The purpose of this is to allow you to get to know your group and become comfortable with one another before attending parties or events where alcohol is present. After that, mentees have greater freedom and may choose for themselves how they wish to participate in the alcohol-related events organized during the Introduction Period, meaning that each mentee decides whether or not they want to drink alcohol. No alcohol is permitted at any of the alcohol-free events.
There is a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding peer pressure related to alcohol throughout the entire Introduction Period. The mentors are well informed about this policy and will do their utmost to ensure that alcohol does not become a disruptive element of the experience.
If at any point you feel uncomfortable with the alcohol culture at an event or within your group, you are more than welcome to speak to a mentor, one of the student safety representatives, or anyone else within the Guild whom you trust. Celebrations and social events are a valued and enjoyable part of the Introduction Period, and it is important that everyone feels comfortable and safe while participating in them.
