Too many things to quote so I'll just post.
FWIW, at our school mixers never opened up to the public after a certain hour. Thursday was "mixer night." If you saw a fraternity house full of sorority women, you knew it was a closed party. They sure didn't last until 1 though, as the older members wanted to go to the bar. Of course this is all different if you're having the mixer AT a bar to begin with.
I agree w/ Brave Maroon and IMO "safety" is the least of their concerns, quite frankly. Honestly, it sounds like people have been bailing early on mixers and causing lots of negative talk from the fraternities and effing up the chapter's social image. Instead of talking this out with the chapter though, they decided to go all fascist on you. If it IS a national dictate, it needed to be presented as such. However, I seriously doubt your nationals would cotton to your being forced to stay till 1 AM.

So unless they're in the middle of a forest with no other houses or fun-time establishments around they wouldn't need buses for a mixer - they just need safe transit, which they're providing in the form of DDs.
