At the University of Chicago, a certain dry chapter was not in compliance and still isn't. They got in trouble for 5 seconds when one of their alumni let the national office know and now that alumni is ostracised.
So really how do they monitor it and what is the action if they aren't dry? Going by the last fraternity I just mentioned, a chapter can say it's dry, drive down insurance costs, lie to parents and administrators, and still have all the parties they want.
And is dry referring only to alcohol in the house? In this story it's obviously a fraternity event involving a keg and tailgating. So is the whole point of being dry to move the focus away from the fraternity's property regardless of who participates?

That's how I always understood it - as long as it was kept off of fraternity property and wasn't part of a fraternity's events, then they were keeping dry. I'd assume it would also cover events with third party vendors (events at bars, clubs etc.), whereby the chapter wouldn't techically be able to have those events.
I'm not completely sure though, I haven't had experience in that situation.
