I guess I just don't understand how it can be applied in some circumstances and not others?  and i'm not trying to be too nebby or critical, i'm just curious.
As a general question, for co-ed organizations, when there are no dating rules, are they written into your national/international bylaws, or is a chapter by chapter basis?

Hazing may have stopped, but false allegations and misunderstandings are still a reality. Our rule maximizes the chapter's protection against complaints and litigation. We removed the risk.
Chapter officers are still brothers and equals. Pledges are seeking brotherhood. We eliminate situations in which a pledge feels entitled to membership because they hooked up with or were dating a member. It is not only a hazing issue but a sexual harassment prevention issue.
I'm sorry that I can't say more.
