You're not your sister's keeper. You are your sister's sister! We all screw up sometimes, and canceling a date with your boyfriend to make sure one of your sisters gets home safely, whether on probation or not, is the duty of you as a sister!! Would you let a member of your family in the situation and go out with your boyfriend?
As for the responsibility issue, signed papers aside, in all organizations, there are four major parties for parents to go after if a GLO is involved in a risk management issue. They are the national organization, the chapter, the university, and the chapter members' parents. I've watched it happen twice at my own university, and trust me, it's ugly. But most organizations, if they choose to break policy of their group, forfeit their right to the insurance they pay for, and thusly won't be covered for any risk management violations.

I think it's totally unreasonable. It makes us babysitters for our sisters - why should I have to cancel a date with my boyfriend to make sure a girl on social probation doesn't drunk drive in her letters? My parents are not responsible for a girl they have never met who couldn't be controlled by Valium and a straightjacket.
