I'm not in a fraternity (I'm female) so I can only tell you a system I've seen work really well from my outside perspective. This requires about 10 brothers at a time (or less depending on house setup and proximity to campus). Each job is a one hour shift (or 1 1/2 hours depending on the length of the party). Everyone working must be sober as well as the exec. board. Jobs are assigned by social chair and he has some sort of rotating schedual so each brother occasionally gets a night off.
Job 1 - 2 brothers - Sober Drivers - pre arranged pick-ups from campus and sober driving guests home
Job 2 - 2 brothers - Porch Duty - sit on the front porch with a walkie-talkie and report any activity to the basement.
Job 3 - 2 brothers - Outside Door - Keep the outside door closed and check guests/list. These guys are held responsible for the people who get in.
Job 4 - 2 brothers - Inside Door - These guys stand at the bottom of the steps and check I.D, take money, mark hands (it's cool, they use a yellow highlighter so you can see it in the blacklight but it's not obvious outside)
Job 5 - 2 brothers - Bar - What more needs to be said?
They also have the same D.J every week, I think it's because he doesn't trust anyone else with his laptop. Putting 2 brothers at every station at a time also keeps anyone from being stranded alone. It's easier to handle any situations with 2 people as opposed to one. This fraternity has also never once been busted . . . they play it safe.Exec. is present to handle any problems that arise during a party.
These guys take their jobs seriously because they're brothers (not pledges) and so it's THEIR asses if anything happens.
