You should just refrain from doing stuff that you wouldn't want reflected on your organization to begin with.
I agree with you that people may already know who you are. Even at such a big university as Penn State, people may already know that this guy belongs to XYZ fraternity and that girl is a member of ABC sorority. I can see not wanting to get out of hand and making a fool of yourself (and possibly your organization) but, if you are out at a local eatery and they serve alcoholic beverages (think Ruby Tuesdays), I never understood why you couldn't possibly have a frozen drink or something with your dinner.

I guess the rule was made to take care of people who couldn't quite limit themselves to just one or two drinks while out in public in letters.
