If the person was, in fact, drinking at the fraternity house, the chapter and probably the house corporation have liability for whatever happens to that person. It's another unfortunate reason for dry housing.
That's why most companies don't serve alcohol at their holiday parties if they're held in the company facility. Most have chosen to go outside to a third party. The last big company I worked for had an absolute alcohol ban in its' property nationwide.
Does this sound familiar?
Take a look at Fraternal News. Whenever there is an alcohol related incident, the lawsuits against everyone even marginally involved always follow.
If the person wasn't drinking at the house, and he/she is not telling the truth just to get the fraternity in trouble, that's a different story.
