When I traveled for TKE in 1963 I'm quite sure that I remember a legal and open beer dispenser at Gamma-Chi Chapter (Valparaiso University).
My chapter as well as the campus was dry and if there was any alcohol at our functions, it was very well hidden. Since a number of our advisors and faculty members were at most all of our parties with their wives, things never got out of hand.
There were some creative ways of having booze in the house behind locked doors though. One room had bottles hanging upside down above the drop ceiling that were rigged with surgical tubing. You just had to pop up the corner of the ceiling tile, pull down the tube, uncap it and pour your drink.
Another frater stored his sour mash bourbon in a compartment in the headboard that he build for his bed. The "key" to opening the compartment was an old coin that always sat on the headboard and servd as a key when inserted into a hidden spring loaded slot. It was quite ingenious.
