I hope that none of this happens again, but I have to tell you that it sounds pretty ingrained as a "tradition" and to keep the problems at bay, they'll need a much stronger panhellenic advisor. As for being mad at a sister who ruined everything for the rest of the group, I know the AOII perpetrator personally. She is an upstanding, serious girl who has very high grades in a very difficult major. She is the last person you'd expect to be involved in such an event. She doesn't make any excuses and will tell anyone who asks that it was a serious lapse in judgement. Now...can we let this discussion die already!?

I don't doubt all of the recruitment counselors participated, but some chapters apparently had more than that going on. So I do think it's likely that the one turning them in wasn't the one to be adding a little something to the recruitment counselor's misdeeds.
I don't think I'm being harsh at all. Weak system or not, reading the recruitment rules is something all recruitment counselors should do. They are RECRUITMENT COUNSELORS. They should know the rules. This includes a ban on alcohol. And if they choose to break the rules, then that has nothing to do with having a weak system...that's just bad judgment. Just because you don't get caught doesn't mean it isn't wrong. Most of us probably speed, or drank underage at least once, or maybe cheated on a quiz in high school. But if we got caught that doesn't mean we don't deserve to be punished.
They should be mad at the sister. At least she has the moral fortitude to realize that and take responsibility for her actions. That means she's probably a smart girl and won't do something like that again. Some people don't have her ability to learn from their mistakes because they won't accept responsibility like she did.
