Shortly after I graduated, I was taking a couple of CS courses at a local college that was affiliated with one of the mainstream Protestant churches. I discovered that 1) There was a $50 fine for walking on the grass and 2) If two people were caught having sex on campus, it was an automatic expulsion, even if the two people were married. (I didn't discover this by getting fined or kicked out.)
A few years later, at a southern state university, I had the experience of having my driver's license taken by the RA before I could visit with a friend in her women-only dorm room. It was like the rest of the world was a man library, and my card was being filed away like a book in a 1980's library.

Someone pulled the fire alarm in her dorm in the middle of one night, and among the evacuated crowd was a significant number of men wrapped in towels or womens' bathrobes. Sounds like that theoretically would not happen today -- but I have a hard time believing that's the case.
