I have been wrong before so it wouldn't surprise me if I am here too.
However, I don't know that there are specific rules on the inter/national level for any NIC/IFC (I'm guessing NPC and perhaps NPHC too) regarding drinking in letters. Having said that, I am sure there are rules (guidelines) about doing so on the chapter level. But as you noted, even your chapter had the exception with respect to wearing party shirts.
I would venture to guess that if a GLO forbids drinking in letters, then it would have to apply to all types of letters. Which would include - as an example - wine at convention while members are wearing their badge. And as far as I know, most sororities and fraternities allow that. My point is that the drinking in letters issue has more to do with proper behavior versus specific rules prohibiting drinking in letters.
