These rules are great. A lot of the people I went to school with at UNC had never been outside of their small town upbringing and lost their mind at school. Common sense went out the window. When I went out with my friends (on or off campus) we made sure that we knew where the others were and who they were with. Some fraternity brothers even offered protection if things appreared to get out of hand or beyond our control (the obnoxious boy who wouldn't leave you alone all night or who danced a bit too close after you told him to back off). And no matter HOW good the party was or who was hosting it, we NEVER left a drink alone.
Sexual assaults are very common on most campuses, but sadly, a lot go unreported. My campus was relatively safe, and we felt comfortable walking back to our dorms alone. Not the smartest move, and we didn't do that often. We usually would walk to whoever's dorm was closest and then have the campus shuttle take the rest of us to our dorms. Better to think you look silly or stupid than to regret it later. Tuition pays for the shuttle, so use it! That's what it's there for.
ETA: Ditto to the one person staying sober in the group. A girl I knew ended up on the floor of the living room with a random guy "performing" on her in the middle of the party after she had waaay too much to drink. Her friends? They left early, WITHOUT HER.
My friends and I ended up escorting her home and making sure that WE would never let something like that happen.
