In 2005, Brown University's "Queer Alliance" threw a raucous and drunken party called "Sex Power God" in a university building. The event was covered by disguised reporters for [[The O'Reilly Factor]], causing bad publicity for the university. The "Queer Alliance" was suspended for a year and prohibited from throwing any more parties in that building, and banned alchohol at the next party.[http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2006/04/27/CampusNews/Chaos.And.Management.Failures.Marred.Sex.Power.God-1880141.shtml?norewrite200605012032&sourcedomain=www.browndailyherald.com]
In 2005, Brown University's Queer Alliance threw a raucous party called SexPowerGod in a university building. Although many students were intoxicated, alcohol was not and has historically not been served at SexPowerGod. The event was covered by disguised reporters for [[The O'Reilly Factor]], causing bad publicity for the university. The Queer Alliance was placed on probation for a year and all student groups were hence prohibited from throwing parties in Sayles Hall.[http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2006/04/27/CampusNews/Chaos.And.Management.Failures.Marred.Sex.Power.God-1880141.shtml?norewrite200605012032&sourcedomain=www.browndailyherald.com]
