These lies are told every year, yet by the third day or so all of them are broken.

  1. When someone else is in your room, everyone must have their feet on the floor and the door must be open.
  2. RCs care about what you do [Edit: they do care! They just don't...necessarily show it. But it's true you can get away with some crazy stuff.]
  3. Living without air conditioning isn't that bad. [Edit: this is not a lie! But if I were to delete it, the title wouldn't work.]
  4. There will be no practical jokes.
  5. Drugs are not allowed at TIP
  6. 10:45 is lights out
  7. The main reason for TIP is the classes
  8. Mandatory fun builds character.

  2. Magic and Pokemon cards are off limits at TIP due to the scary images of monsters like Pikachu presented on the cards and some girls lifting up their shirts for cards.
  3. There will be no grinding at TIP dances. (edit: at east term 2 2010 one RC's was noted for being asked by her all boy RAG about grinding at dances and she reported that as long as it didn't result in anyone becoming... Hard, then it was acceptable.)
  4. There will be no electronics.
  5. There will be no texting during class
  6. There will be no vandalizing
  7. All the kids are drug free angels
  8. Your phone will get taken away should you use it outside of phone hours (Actually it will be taken away... Many people, including me, got theirs taken away)
  9. It's not okay to take candy from long haired dudes
  10. If you use your phone as an alarm clock, there WILL be consequences.
