Tonight is the last night that me and my room mates were going to be at school for a while. I guess that the Jewish holidays het everyone a few days off from college.
Anyways, me and 4 of my friends finally got all of our worl done, and decided to play through a couple rounds of pong. This turned out to be a mistake. As we were finishing up one of our last rounds, our RA knocked on the door. We scrambled and hid our drinks and shit and thought we were gonna be alright, considering our RA is a chill dude. Well it turns out that our beer was smelling enough, and our pong balls were loud enough to blantantly signal that we were playing pong.
Our RA told us that he would only count us for like 2.5 beers each, since we were not too deep into the night, but this still worries me. He has to write a report, which gets sent to his higher-up. This might mean a probation or something worse, but whatever it is, I don't want my parents to be mad at me.
I am going home tomorrow and im wondering if I could tell my semi-strict parents about this. They might be less-mad at me for telling them, but they could also freak out no matter what.
What should I do?

Pong in the dorm. Big mistake. Next time just chill with a few drinks and then go out. Only pregame in the dorms and you'll never have a problem.

Do you go to BYU or something? Probation for 2.5 beers?

that sucks man, and thats so gay.
When I was a freshman in the dorms, we would take the doors off cabinets(long doors) and put them on dressers to make beer pong tables and shit. We'd play with strobe lights and loud music and everything. One time an RA walked in and didnt care at all. Just told us to turn the music down.

My friend got kicked out of student housing permanently and had to do a bunch of community service for starting the CPDC "Cal Poly Drinking Club" and it isn't even a dry campus.
Be careful what you do when it comes to alcohol. mixed drinks are usually a safe bet, and you can walk around pretty much anywhere with a fast food plastic cup with rum and coke or something of the sort.

Considering they are paying for a good deal of my schooling and shit, I don't like them to know when I get in trouble. That said, I will not give them a reason to be mad at me in the future, especially after a stupid little thing like this.
I am going to talk to the super-RA in a few hours to see what happens.

They know that I party a bit, but they dont want me to be a dumbass and get caught.

That sucks man. at my school, we dont have RA's, we have HR (head resident), but there students and cant really do shit unless your being a complete asshole.
last thursday, hour HR was playing beer die (big game at our school) and he made these 2 freshman do naked laps around the dorm because they lost 7-0 haha. he's pretty chill with drinking (actually, yesterday- thursday- he was drinking at 11 AM with some kids haha)

honestly... you asked for my opinion, i recomned you stop being such a fucking pussy and deal with it, you got caught with a few fuckin beers, your in college, who the fuck cares if your parents find out? what do they expect you to do when your at college? are they going to ground you while your away at school? try calling your mom and telling her you got caught with a 1lb and 1/4 and then talk to me, but for a six pack, you gotta be shitting me.

i made the same mistake in my dorm, except, i only got a warning because the next day my RA said i was in no state of mind to talk and let alone get written up.. real chill RA. but seriosly your parents have to expect that your gonna throw a few back on occasion, i wouldnt sweat it. i know at my school, your first offense is basically a slap on the wrist if you do in fact get written up. you will have to go in front of the board and they will say shit to scare you, but its all bullshit. just make sure you dont get twice, cuz thats when things could get sticky.

alright so my RA was at a party last weekend that me and a few others set up, and rolled back to the dorms with us. then she says, "How long is it gonna take you to realize that I don't give a FUCK about what you guys do?" plus me and her fiance went to the same high school so she loves me already.

just don't tell them. I'm not giving you this advice because I think you should sneak something around your parents' back, or that you should lie to them or anything. I'm saying it because your parents don't need to know everything that you do when you're away at college. Unless it directly affects them, like you're getting kicked out or anthing, you don't need to tell them, nor should you feel guilty about it.

i got caught last year playing pong. they confiscated 30 beers and my table. the next weekend i got arrested for damaging school property. the school just gave me a year probation and i had to go meet with some counselor about my drinking haha. needless to say, i didn't play pong anymore in my room, only due to the fact that i didn't have a table. and pong is totally worth it, i don't regret it at all. hanging out with my good friends, listening to music, getting drunk. shits the best. and now that i have an apartment, i play like 4 days a week. actually, i might go play in an hour or so haha.
but in response to what you said, i wouldn't tell my parents. its not a huge violation so its not going to go home at all. you'll be straight, what happens in school usually stays in school unless its like terrible. don't worry

don't worry man. i've gotten some drinking tickets and they don't tell your parents. they say that since you are in college you are old enough to make your own decisions and if you want to tell your parents go ahead. but the school won't do it. Also, drinking in the dorms shouldn't be automatic expulsion. normally you will get a warning with a fine then the penalties go up from there. just check your student handbook and i'm sure it covers alcohol and drug policies. no worries man, you'll probably just have to pay a fine.

not a big deal you will get a little community service or have to make a poster and that is it. they are not going to kick you out or anything. i got caught blacked out walking home the hall drinking out of a Captain Morgan bottle trying to giving people shots and i barely got in trouble the hall coordinator thought it was really funny that i did not remember doing any of this.

You are at least 18 and are legally an adult... the college can't let your peeps know. Either way, this is called "blowing shit out of proportion." Get drunk, have fun, enjoy college.
