That's one of the smartest things about many sororities. They don't allow their chapters to sponsor parties with alcohol. So, the fraternities have to have all of the parties, and our liability insurance rates skyrocket while our sister greeks are able to keep their insurance rates nice and low.
When I was a divisional officer, I saw a lot of information on insurance claims, and a substantial part of the insurance claims on fraternity houses are for damage caused by visitors -- many of them sorority women visiting during parties, etc.
That, plus the liability for "serving" alcohol on your property can be staggering.
That's why there is such a move by Nationals to have parties off-site, third party vendors, etc.
Finally, Delt, and I suspect a lot of other fraternity Nationals, has rules against using chapter funds for alcohol. Whether the chapters obey those rules is another matter.
