- Food!
DeFRAG will be supplying pizza, and a small breakfast (doughnuts!), but it’s a long night. Extra food to snack on (chips, soda, candy, etc) is highly advised. Please remember, that all rules regarding food and drink in the labs are still in effect.
Alongside the Vita Bundle, DeFRAG will be selling exclusive Geek ‘Til Dawn t-shirts. Raffle tickets are 1 for $2, or 3 for $5. T-shirt prices are $15 a piece, old ones are $10.
Also- local toy and game shop Galactic Force will be holding a pay draft shortly after the midnight (casual Avacyn Restored).
- Handheld/Board Games!
This event is looking bigger then ever, and there are only so many consoles for so many people. Don’t forget to bring your PSPs, DS/i/XL’s, board games, or other small, portable gaming devices with chargers.
- Sleeping Supplies
While the point of this event is to “Geek ‘Til Dawn” you may wish to lay down for a little bit. For that purpose, lounge areas on the 2nd Floor will be put aside for quiet areas. However, DeFRAG will not be supplying any pillows, blankets, etc., so bring your own.
- Stuff
A generic term for anything and everything else you may need for an overnight event. This includes things like chargers, contact solutions, PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION, or anything else you cannot go 12 hours without. Again, the building closes at 11:00 PM. If you leave after this time, for whatever reason, you will NOT be allowed back in.
- Positive Attitude
This includes COMMON SENSE. This a big event, and takes a lot of willing DePaul Faculty, Staff, and Students to coordinate this event. We want to make it as fun as possible, and we want to continue hosting Geek ‘Til Dawn in the years to come. For this, we need YOU! (yes, you!) to be fun, active, reasonably behaved participants. Make it possible for this event to continue!
Do NOT Bring!
- Illegal Items
DeFRAG will have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy towards anything that is considered against DeFRAG and DePaul policies. No drugs, alcohol, weapons, etc. We’re going to trust your common sense here. If anyone’s caught with these items, the items will be handed over to security, and the offender will be immediately escorted out of the event.
-Non-DePaul Minors
Because of Chicago curfew, we ask that you do not bring any GUESTS under the age of 18. If you are a DePaul Student (with proof of enrollment), and under the age of 18, we ask that if you attend, you either leave before 11:00 PM, or stay until 6:00 AM to avoid breaking curfew.
-Anything that even resembles a real life weapon
This includes squirt guns, nerf guns, potato guns, marshmallow guns, rubber-band guns, plastic toy knives, kendo sticks, plastic ninja swords, and ALL OF THE LIKE. We will not hesitate to remove you from the event if you are walking around with anything that we feel can disrupt other people’s fun.
- Bad Attitude
This includes BAD SENSE. Again, this event takes a lot of willing DePaul Faculty, Staff, and Students to coordinate. A single student breaking DePaul/DeFRAG polices could mean the end of Geek ‘Til Dawn. So please, for the sake of your future Geek ‘Til Dawns, have fun, and behave yourself!
DeFRAG and DePaul University are not responsible for items lost, stolen, or damaged during this event. If an event participant is found in violation of any of the aforementioned policies, or any DeFRAG/DePaul Policy, we reserve the right to remove them from the event.
