The police here love to harrass the fraternities. TKE broke no rules by drinking at an apartment during dry week.
Steph,

First, please take a look at previous posts regarding liability in terms of providing alcohol to someone.

Serving alcohol comes with responsibility just like drinking it does. The fact that the drinker fails at her or his responsibility does not absolve the server of responsibility. It may be a smaller responsibility, but it is still there.

Second, maybe she could have bought her own beer, but the chapter (or members) broke the LAW in providing beer to her -- whether it technically broke the "dry week" rules or not. She is under the legal drinking age.
