Alcohol Policy Explanation

[justhey76]

Ok, I am the new social chair for my chapter, and I will tell you that in the past, our socials have (so I have heard, since I am new) kind of been busts in the past. We have a lot of problems to overcome, and most have to do wth the alcohol policy (PLEASE READ ON, WE DONT WANT TO THROW A BIG DRUNKEN PARTY). My main problem is with our formal and semiformal. There is a part in the AOII alcohol policy that says no party shall keep an AOII overnight, nor is a member allowed to rent a room after a function, formal, or party. We have serious problems with this bc we are in Tahlequah, OK. It is not a big town, at all, I dont even think there is a decent hotel in the whole town, if any hotel or motel at all. We dont have any ballrooms, and really NOWHERE to hold a function, especally a big one like formal. Anywhere we can go is over 20 miles away (therefore we have to get liscenced commercial transportation anyways), and it is just too far to drive back after an event like this. Is there ANY possible way that I am reading the alcohol policy wrong and somehow we can rent rooms or something after a function? Please, help me!!!!!
