For those calling BS on the A Phi rules, she's not that far off. Generally speaking, when the girls in the chapter I advise have a party, the security is responsible for checking IDs and it's the company's responsibility -- plus the responsibility of the sober sisters in the chapter-- to make sure people don't drink underage. However, the only parties liable in this case are the bartenders and security companies.
Now, I can't say for sure whether her chapter uses sober sisters and practices appropriate Watchcare (not going to argue about it publicly), but I think my sister is on the right track about explaining how they handle RM issues with third party vendors. Suffice it to say, our International office is very clear on what is and what is not allowed, and it sounds to me like they're following our rules. She may just not be explaining them clearly.
(Sometimes being the advisor of a Canadian chapter is challenging. When it comes to drinking, this is one instance when I jump for joy that we're in Canada).

Yes, our chapter does always have four sober sisters at every party/formal/hayride, any event with alcohol. The job of our sober sisters is basically to keep an eye out on all the girls and if someone gets TOO drunk, they have the authority to order them to leave the party. They're also supposed to be the ones to call for help if that is ever needed (which it never has been).
My chapter was under fire last year for risk management issues and hazing, and trust me, we do everything by Alpha Phi standards now, because if not, our charter is revoked.
The bars use their own bouncers, and it is up to them to allow girls in according to their IDs. We generally have our parties at bars that are 21+, and when this is the case, underage girls get a wristband so they can not drink at the party and are ordered to leave once the party is over and the bar is open to the public.
