One thing I always found interesting is how much more trouble a chapter can get in (from an insurance perspective) for kegs versus open, individual containers....anyone with expertise care to elaborate?
Why I was stumped was in seeing a party of about 30 guys with a keg (for 30 guys...no big deal, right?), but the house next door held a function for 80+, but had CASES and CASES of beer (as far as potential individual intake, the cases of beer provided at least twice as much alcoholic beverages per member than the keg could have)...but both parties were busted, but the keg party got the worst of the sanctions, AND saw insurance go up.
These two orgs had a similar history in the past, so it isn't like one chapter was asking for more trouble...it was the keg that was singled out in the reports.....

What i remember from when i was an active, is that a house can go voluntarily dry, or can be required to be dry based on naional's decision. I know for us, we were restricted to one alcohol event at the house for a semester, due to our grades not beating the all male average.
Not during events, however, there was beer at the house that was purchased by those residents that lived there.
The deal about kegs is that it's percieved as encouraging mass consumption. Even when we had parties, the beer had to be in individual containers and when using a ticket system, only one drink could be given to a brother(or friend) at a time. It is supposedly supposed to regulate the amount of alcohol you can drink in an allotted amount of time.
