Code of Conduct
Chicago Area Mensa is a safe and inclusive in-person and on-line community for CAM members and guests
regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical
appearance, race, ethnicity, age or religion.
Unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated. Unacceptable physical, written or verbal behavior
includes, but is not limited to: intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory, or
demeaning conduct.
Please be aware that the other members are real people; gossip and negativity negatively impact the
group as a whole. Controversial topics are part of Mensa; that is not license to be tiresome or exhibit
a belief that everyone else is wrong. Assume good intentions. If your interactions frequently turn
negative, please consider self-reflection.
CAM encourages members to report any illegal activity to the proper authorities. CAM’s response
to unacceptable behavior is not dependent on the involvement of outside authorities.
Consequences can include being removed from an event, denial of access to future events and/or CAM on-line
communities, and referral to a regional or national hearing.
If removed from HalloweeM, the registration fee will not be refunded.
If you encounter inappropriate behavior, please immediately report it to any WeeM Peace Force
Coordinator, any WeeM Volunteer, a CAM ExComm
member, or the CAM Ombudsperson.
Bring your Mensa number to registration to avoid paying an additional $10 and pay by check, credit card, or with cash.
Photo Id
A photo id
will be required for any adult picking up
Pretentious Drinking (PD)
coupons.
You will not be able to get coupons for other adults in your party.
New for 2025: Entry to an alcohol-related program requires a
government-issued photo id per our hotel contract—that includes Pretentious Drinking.
Registration Rates
Please note that Mensa rates assume membership in good standing.
IDs will be verified on-site when you pick up your badge. The
additional charge for non-Mensans or Mensans whose membership has
lapsed is $10.
Pet Policy
Pets are not allowed in any group event areas at Chicago
Area Mensa sponsored events, with the exception as laid out
by the Americans with Disabilities Act. This exception is
listed below.
Service animals, as defined by Title II and Title III of the
Americans with Disabilities Act, are always allowed in any
Chicago Area Mensa sponsored event. The handler is responsible
for the care and supervision of the animal, including cleaning
up after the animal. The ADA guidelines on Service Animals
should be used if questions arise.
Pets are still allowed in guest rooms. It is
recommended that you check the hotel’s pet policy on the
hotel’s information sheet and contact the hotel for additional information.
There is no charge for children age 8 and under to attend when accompanied by a registered adult; and there
is a discount for
attendees under 21 years of age.
If you preregistered and were paying by check, it must
have been received by the appropriated deadline to qualify for
a discounted rate. Otherwise you will be expected to pay any additional
amount when you pick up your registration materials at WeeM.
