Okay, this 2 or more thing is really throwing ya'll off, I think. Lol.

For us, it's not a literal translation (this is what I've always been told, which of course could be wrong. There are many AZD's on here who I'm sure will correct me if I am). It's like, if 2 or more Alpha Xis were to get together, that means that we should not act in any way that would disgrace our fraternity or cause us to incur liability (i.e. hazing the pledges, forcing someone to drink, running around campus naked, etc.) because that could be construed as a sorority function if we were to get sued. Really, we use it as a reminder of how we should act, b/c as we all know here on GC, you represent your GLO 24 hours a day, whether you're drinking at the bar w/o letters on or if you're grocery shopping for your sick mother.

However, If XYZ fraternity is throwing a party on Friday night, and a brother comes up to one of us in Econ Friday afternoon and says, "Hey, we're partying tonight, tell all your sisters," then that's fine. Whomever wants to go can go. That is in no way a co-sponsored event. If all but 5 of the chapter members go to the party, then by definition, it's still not a chapter event.

For us, we are supposed to abide by all state & nat'l laws. So guess what - it's un-AZD like to drink if you're under 21. It's un-AZD like to use illegal drugs. Whether it's one sister or twelve, we're not supposed to do those things. So, if all the sisters that went out to the XYZ party were 21, then they're allowed to drink. The ones that are not 21, if they are drinking, and something were to happen to them, well then of course AZD would get into trouble if one of the sisters were to have provided them w/ the alcohol. However, if no sisters provided her w/ the alcohol, and the brothers of XYZ did, then they would be the ones to get into trouble.

As for the sorority property thing, I guess it depends on your GLO's national rules for whether or not you're supposed to be alcohol-free. For us, if it's something on-campus that isn't an official house (i.e. a hall), it's treated as if it's a sorority property, although it's not technically a sorority property. For example, my undergrad chapter had a hall, and we were supposed to follow all university rules regarding alcohol in the rooms (although we were also supposed to follow AZD rules regarding no alcohol), max. number of persons in the room, etc. If we didn't fill the hall, it's not like we lost the hall, the university would simply assign non-sisters in the remaining spots.

And 33-girl, how many girls have to live in that off-campus house for it to be alcohol-free? I've never heard that one before.

edited b/c i mistyped something. sorry!
