Doing away with the "events" simply means informal gatherings will happen off chapter property in conditions where the less organized the event is, the less it can be tied to the organization. Taking safety precautions such as keeping the party closed, hiring security, hiring a cash bar, etc., would all tend to make an informal gathering into a formal event.

It's just offloading liability. Not unlike what NPC orgs did regarding alcohol and parties. It's just that now, we're offloading the liability onto our members themselves instead of someone else.
