Its funny but if you work for ABC company and your entire shift of 500 people decides to go to your house and party its not considered an ABC event . . . but if 5 people from Alpha Sigma Alpha are drinking together the whole organization is considered responsibile.

Also, at some point people need to realize that if a large majority of your chapter is there, and the chapter president knows it's occuring but does not try to stop it (i.e. calling security, reporting the instigators to the school or HQ and telling them it's an individual action not a chapter sanctioned event, disciplining the chapter individuals who are promoting it as a chapter event), then it appears as though the chapter is condoning it and could also be seen as responsible. Bottom line on that one is if a majority of your chapter knows it's breaking some sort of rule and doesn't want to get into trouble for it, they shouldn't be there. Actions speak louder than words.
