It helps to know that, because while I don't think houses should be breaking the rules, it tells me something about some of the possible alternatives the greek advisor might have chosen. For example, if most of the houses really don't know what the rules are, then I think there needs to be an information campaign before potentially harsh enforcement of the rules begins. It would make it a lot more fair, it would have the potential of genuinely improving things, and in all it would be the supportive way to go about it. The unsupportive way is just to start beating people down.
Your chapter or IFC should consider proposing that there be (1) information sessions that everyone can attend (perhaps one for each house or perhaps divided at least for groups of houses, so that people can ask questions) and (2) a well-written and organized handbook for all fraternity members that does more than just explain the rules. This sort of thing should say not only what you
can't do, but what you
can do within the rules, and how you might practically go about it.
Good luck to you.
