None of this is helpful to OP. Here you go:

Who is enforcing these rules you all are coming up with? Genuinely curious. This is just not based on reality.
My advice is every kid goes in and it's every man for him/herself. As the adult, never ever agree to sign the lease or have anything to do with the landlord. The parents who do this are nuts but a sucker is born every day. Tell your child: If you see your friend unresponsive call 911. If a friend is missing from the house, contact their parent. For females, drink nothing you have not opened yourself. For boys, consent, consent, consent, consent, consent. All can be filmed. All can be shared. Decisions made during this weekend can cause signficant road bumps in your life and rescind college acceptances. This is not just scare tactics, it's happened. If/when you get evicted, call and I'll come pick you up. |
Kids in college have unwritten contracts. |
+1. If your child heading to college (or in college) doesn't know what you expect of them, and care what you expect of them, then the battle is already lost. |

It's the soon to be leaving for college that's a big party of the problem IMHO. You hook up with someone at beach week or get crazy drunk or high because it feels like there are no consequences or it's the last chance to be with these people. In college, you at least have to think about whether you'll see these people again in your dorm or in class. |
| Here’s an idea, if you’re worried enough about what will happen at beach week that you want to draw up an unenforceable and non-binding contract with your kid, don’t sign the effing lease for the house and don’t send them to beach week. It is not some kind of right for 18 year olds to spend a week at the beach partying and drinking and wrecking rental houses, to say nothing of ruining the vacations of others who are unwittingly renting the home next door. |
