OK Onto your point.
I have no idea what house you are in but if your national or regional officers are telling you that you can't do it, then you can't do it.
Whether or not you like it or what anyone else thinks doesn't matter.

Recently my fraternity has been told that we should not being doing biads or any other type of "party" with other houses because of the liability and possible danger it places with us of being with another house in a situation prone to problems (we aren't a dry house). While we've only been a chapter for about 6 months now and were a colony for about a year and a half before that. About a third of our members do not drink, and more than half could care less about partying, furthermore, we a significant amount of members over this issue last spring. Since that time, I've organized three different biads (after we chartered) and all have went fine. Nonetheless, I was told last night in an RM presentation by our BOG Pres., and with an e-mail I received this morning that we need to avoid these type of events and be more "creative."
My problem with this is, in our 3000 person greek system there are no fraternities who are socially accepted, who are dry and/or do not put on biads with other houses. Consequently, I fear that not participating in these events will in many ways make my house the outcast of the Greek system, thereby hindering its performance and viability. What are everyone's thoughts on this?
