I've never once heard a first hand or second hand story of someone who was ratted out to the HCO for something. I've only heard those stories on message boards. For that reason, I feel a lot of this is blown out of proportion.

I'm a student at BYU and I know of only one case where a friend was reported to the Honor Code. He had stayed and talked with a friend of his in her apartment during a particularly difficult time in her life past midnight. She reported him a few months later. He was put on probation and had to do jump through a few hoops in order to graduate. It was dumb.
Other than that, I've never ran into the Honor Code. I frankly think it is overblown, and somewhat archaic in its implementation and enforcement. Were I given a pen and free reign to make changes to the Honor Code itself, however, I don't know that I would.
