I am only speculating here, mart1240 will need to clarify.
Many GLOs (fraternities and sororities) may not recognize a chapter as 'in-good-standing' if it is not recognized by the university. In this particular case, it *may be* that chapters have to be IFC members for university recognition. Perhaps to be a 'student organization'. Again, knowing if your campus is a public or a private campus would help.
If the IFC shoots off an email to the chapter's HQ - regardless if there is any merit to the email - it does raise concerns with HQ. While it may be just crap, it is still crap that has to be dealt with. And it may be that if the chapter is put on IFC probation - for whatever reason - then it may be put on probation by HQ as well. Many times, it's guilty until proved innocent by the university and as such, HQ.

Other males can correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding of FIPG rules, you shouldn't be having open, uncontrolled parties (meaning that the alcohol isn't contained in a certain area, entry to the event isn't controlled, no guest lists, etc.) anyway...so I'm not sure what the problem with the rule is. But then again I don't understand exactly what the rule says...no offense, but your paraphrasing isn't clear.

I'm not really clear on it either but my understanding of FIPG rules is that there shouldn't be any "uncontrolled" parties as well.

I am a tad confused with this as well. It sounds like the 'no alcohol' rule is in place for two weeks *regardless* if there is a rush event or not? So any possible violation might result in IFC probation/email etc?
In any case, you have been given some great advice. Frankly, it does seem like you may need to get some additional help and or intervention going. Either from your HQ, the other 'Big Eight' chapters, your Alumni, and or advisor(s), etc.
