at UMass Amherst we have a great thing going (I'm being sarcastic). Inside the township of Amherst, kegs are illegal without a special permit, which is nearly impossible to obtain. Since fraternities are technically off-campus housing, they're within Amherst jurisdiction, and so the Amherst police will bust parties with kegs. I'm not certain what the fine is, but it's fairly severe. Most houses stick to 30's.
On campus, kegs are not allowed in the dorms. But then, alcohol is almost completely banned in the dorms. The only way to have an alcoholic beverage on campus is if all the residents of a room are over 21, and then the limit is a 30 or one liter of hard alcohol per resident. No open containers in common areas or hallways, ever. Violating the policy sends you to an alcohol awareness workshop, for which you pay $50.
They're a charming bunch of Nazis up here in Amherst.
