My guess is they are doing something very popular in the NYC and its suburbs for Greeks particularly on the commuter campuses (less oversite by campus administration, less of a party scene b/c people don't have houses or dorms to hang out in) . GLO's often have open parties at bars withs covers ranging anywhere from $5 -$15. Usually the GLO promotes the party (like you would a club with fliers and emails) and gets everything from the door or most of the cover minus a cost to use the place and/or a dj. The bar gets everything from selling drinks. They are usually 18 to enter, 21 to drink but the places that serve underage or are easy with fake/chalked ID's are more popular. I have heard of these parties getting busted sometimes because of volume, crowds or the occasional fight which leads to the discovery of underage drinking but have never heard of the GLO's actually getting in touble b/c the carding is done or at least suppose to be done by the bar staff.
