They cracked down on the parties last year, so it's pretty rare when anyone does have an advertised party. But my freshman year, all guys were welcome at all parties... however one fraternity really wasn't as welcome, because they have an attitude problem. Their pledges, however, were still welcome (I think they they were hoping their pledges would drop the fraternity they were pledging and join theirs). Guys from other fraternities didn't really show up to their parties unless it was their biggest one of the year.

My boyfriend is a TKE and stopped by the Pike house with me last year during Rush. One of the rushees there asked my boyfriend if he was a brother and he nervously muttered something about being in another fraternity, because he didn't want them to think he came to their house to steal rushees. The guy wouldn't drop it and asked him what fraternity he was in and my boyfriend had to repeat himself 3 times because he was muttering.

The Pikes just laughed about it though, because he lived on a floor with a bunch of them freshman year. They came up to him and said, "Come on Brad, we're not gonna kill ya!" It was kinda funny but he wanted to get out of there.
