Fill first, then if needed (and ONLY if needed) give it a pump or two.
Geez, I was the only one paying attention in college?  It's a bummer too because Keg beer tastes soooo good. |

The keys are to pick the keg up from the store several hours before your guests arrive so the beer has time to settle before you tap it.
Then make sure people only pump it when needed. Not everytime they fill their cup. The reason you get so much foam is because people introduce too much oxygen from pumping it every time!
