Nebraska checking in.

This is the way we do it here.

1. No alcohol at all inside the chapter house. So that of course means no parties at the chapter house. Occasionally we'll have sober events with a sorority at the house.

2. All our "parties" occur at bars to satisfy the third party vendor rule. There are quite a few Lincoln bars that have either backrooms or are otherwise available to rent for weekend nights.

3. Primers for the parties occur at the homes of upperclassmen who live off campus.

4. We don't have kegs at "calendar events". Basically anything that gets announced in chapter or is scheduled with a specific sorority means we get as many cans of beer as we can. Events that just "happen" can have kegs. So if I were to call up guys tonight and say "I'm having a party at my place" I could get a keg.



I'm not sure about the numbers, but our EC said that anything that could be construed as a "Beta" party legally, whether it occurred at the residence of a Beta or not, is a Beta Party. That could even mean that it was a party thrown by a GDI and maybe 3 Betas show up, not even a sizeable % of the males there... If someone thought it was somehow affiliated with us, the chapter, the members and the GF could be sued. (Granted it would be a difficult case to show our involvement but it could be possible).
