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).
I'm just curious, honest question, but if you have sober sisters who job is presumably to prevent underage drinking, if some one does drink, doesn't the sorority have some liability then? By providing sober sisters does that assume responsibility? Just curious.
