While their chapter adviser felt it was necessary, this was something that should have been cleared with the chapter, and after talking to some of the sisters of the "rat" sorority, it is clear to me that they had no idea what was going on or what happened. The adviser should have gone to the other chapter advisers first, and discussed the matter with the whole exec board to let them decide what should have been done.

I think you have a great point - especially if, as has been reported, all the sororities had members who were Rho Chis and drinking. When the one who blows the whistle gets a lesser penalty, even if they did the same thing, it isn't going to go over well.
If you're an advisor, you should be looking at the state of the whole Greek system, not just your chapter. If she thought this practice was dangerous for her girls, it is dangerous for all the other sororities also.
