[QUOTE=33girl;1536833]Exactly. It's why THEY AND THEY ALONE should get the punishment, not the whole sorority. If my whole sorority got put on probation because of something like this, that girl's life probably wouldn't be very pleasant.[/QUOTE]
I'm thinking maybe the University did that for that very reason.
So for the 6 or 7 people who messed up in those chapters, the entire chapter is having to pay for it. While they were "disaffiliated" with their sorority for that period of recruitment, it doesn't exempt them from following NPC rules or the rules of their GLO. I am not aware of any NPC org that allows their group to have alcoholic beverages at recruitment events.
Whether we like it or not, our members and their actions represent the entire chapter even if they aren't wearing shirts with giant 4-inch double-stitched greek letters across their chests 24/7.
If this had been a hazing incident, the entire chapter would likely get punished even if only a handful of members were the ones taking part in it.
The dingbat Panhellenic advisor is partly at fault because it doesn't sound like he did anything to stop it the last few years, and the University finally caught them, but just because the advisor diidn't straight up stop them does not mean it's OK to drink during Rush Week.
I don't know what the chapters there do as far as informing their members what behavior is acceptable, but in this case it seems like the chapter leadership needs to do more to educate their own members because the Panhellenic advisor isn't doing his job.
