This is Ruth we're talking about. Abusing her extremely limited authority and using intimidation to keep it under wraps is pretty much her character's identifying 'quirk'.

What I'm used to is the RA knocking a few times and saying "RA" loudly and clearly enough for the people inside to hear them. If they're ignored after a few times of that, then they either come back later or, if the situation is serious enough (such as a loud party), then they'll say, "RA, keying in" and open the door. They usually come prepared with the master key in situations like this. But if they get ignored when there are clearly people in there, they can run downstairs to go get it and come back.
If they need back-up, then they can call other RAs (whoever's on call), the hall director, and/or the police/other relevant authority figures.
If the situation is serious enough, it probably wouldn't be wrong to barge in, but it's better to knock first. Ruth is not covering her butt very well, but most of them are afraid enough of her that they most likely won't alert anyone of the protocol breach, even if they have to talk to the police or something.

So I was admitted into this residential College thing my college has. Basically for my freshman and sophomore years the 90 of us were living together and taking some of our courses in small discussion based classes. We still had our major and some of our other gen ed classes in the university. But the point is we were all really tight knit and we were living in this weird sort of building that had our dorm rooms and our classrooms. The RAs were super hands off. We smoked, partied, and made noise in our room pretty much to our hearts' content. It seems like the only thing they ever took seriously was keeping the communal kitchens clean. And then junior year I moved into an apartment. So I don't really know how a normal RA behaves. But that all said, I find it incredible that there haven't been enough complaints levied against Ruth for her to be fired.
explicit:
The RA's I had were all fairly passive (one got fired for drinking while on duty). The male RA's never seemed to care and could only do things if you forced their hand (making a ridiculous amount of noise, trashing the bathroom). Some of the girl RA's were a bit strict and would go looking for booze through people's things, but usually not. (I should note that there were only 2 male RA's when I was a freshman and 12 girl RA's. Mostly girls college).

Bubbles would indicate Ethan's been drankin' too... This is a comic that makes me want the next one already, because not a damn thing has been indicated, as of yet, to where this is headed.
