The fraternities here almost always at least go through the pretense of making up a guest list, but as the night wears on they don't always follow it to the letter. You can usually get in if you're attractive and female, and/or tell them "I'm an ABC." Sometimes "I know so-and-so" works. And if there's an entire mob of you and the guys at the door at being lazy, they'll usually let you in rather than try and stop ten of you at once.
So a lot of parties are definitely not to-the-letter on the guest list thing, but I've never been to a party that was truly "open door." The entire neighborhood that Greek Row is in is composed of college students, so you don't get many randoms who aren't UW students, and high school students are -- strangely enough -- pretty rare, at least at the parties I've been to.
The police near campus are pretty relaxed about the fraternity parties here, as long as you follow certain policies, and the guest list is something they insist on.
