as a campus professional, i do think that they can investigate what happens in an off -campus b/c they are an RSO. i, personally, would also investigate a party by a non-greek group. but that's me and not every advisor or campus is like that. in fact, for some camuses, the social/alcohol policy only applies to greeks. i feel that is wrong too. now back to the topic......
universities have a desire to keep students safe and follow the rules. when they continually disregard rules, i believe the univ can make the decision to stop the offensive behavior even if they have to go off campus. i wouldn't do that in the first instance of a problem, but when repeated, i probably would. i would also investigate if 2 fraternity guys (or any other students) got in a fight at a girl's place off campus or at a bar or wherever.
not trying to step on toes, just want to point out that universities are able to discipline student behavior whether on or off campus. it's in the interest of keeping an eye out for the well-being of the student. sure, univ action can be sketchy at times, but if we never able to do anything, we couldn't offer help to students who tried to comitt suicide off campus or who got into a car accident driving home, etc b/c it didn't happen on campus.
just my 2 cents
