The State College Police Department sent out its annual warning for the “challenge” that comes “the weekend between THON and Spring Break.”

If you’re a freshman or have been living under a green-less rock during your time at Penn State, it’s talking about State Patty’s Day.

“In past years, the weekend between THON and Spring Break has been a challenge, resulting in more crime, more criminal arrests, and more alcohol overdoses than a typical winter weekend,” the release reads. “In 2011, crime and alcohol overdoses were at their worst, [sic] fortunately since 2012, conditions have improved significantly.”

As cited in the release, Penn State and State College Police, as well as the university, have managed to tame State Patty’s post-2011. Police patrolling has been ramped up, while Penn State formerly paid bars to close and has limited the number of on-campus guests.

To continue to mitigate crime, destruction, and excessive drinking, police offered a few tips on how to party along with some stricter-than-usual regulations. Here are a few ways the department notes can keep you out of trouble this weekend:

• Do not invite guests to your apartment or house this weekend.
• Prevent guests from yelling or throwing items off your balcony or from your house.
• Do not permit anyone less than 21 years of age to consume alcohol at your apartment or house. Police warn that anyone who does this can be arrested.
• Do not serve large quantities of alcohol at your apartment or house.
• Keep any noise or music at a reasonable level. Police warn that noise violations will be “strictly enforced at all hours of the day and night” and that the minimum fine for a noise violation is $750, plus court charges.
• Ensure your property is clear of all trash, including red cups, beer cans, and food containers.
