The issue with the DDs isn't that under 21s shouldn't be drinking. What if the completely sober DD's contact lens pops out, he can't see and drives the car into a tree? If the fraternity had a written-down DD program, that can be seen as the fraternity assuming responsibility.

And yes I agree this sucks and it's far better to have DDs, but this is the legalese.
