Besides, some of the nationals are saying that if there are as few as 2 or 3 sisters at ANY party, it's considered a sorority function.

You're exactly right. Courts across the country have found that any function with 25% of the chapter attending can be considered an official function, thus subject to all of the state/national laws. Some nationals have even gone so far to say that 3-4 members constitutes a function. This means you can't elimiate liability by holding it at a non-members residence.
