The rules are there for the protection of the sorority and its members. Most NPC sororities also prohibit residents from keeping alcohol in the house, even if they're of age.
It's not just sororities. Some dorms have similar rules about guests. The one all-female dorm at my school requires all visitors to sign in and be escorted by a resident. Wellesley had (and I believe still has) the "horizontal-vertical" rule: If you have a guest in your dorm, male or female, you must be on the same floor as your guest.
Like honeychile said, these 18-22 year olds are legally adults, but their parents still view them (especially daughters) as small children in need of protection.
On the one hand, you can say, "if you don't like the rules, don't live in the house/dorm". At some schools, that's an option; off-campus housing is readily available, and GLOs don't require members to live in. On the other hand, some chapters do have a residency requirement because they have to keep their houses full, and some schools do require all undergrads or all freshmen to live on campus. So not liking the rules can mean not going greek.
