. Okay I really do not understand this:
Fraternity guys who are of legal age have a private party with no connection to the fraternity which serve alcohols off campus in their own residences to underage drinkers......if something goes wrong....individual fraternity guys are liable, the underage drinkers are liable, and the fraternity.
Now should I host a party at my home that is not affiliated with the Democratic Party and serve alcohol and there happens to be underage drinkers and something goes wrong (Oh trust me-there would be no underage drinkers at my home...but for arguments sake)......I would be liable, the underage drinkers would be liable, and since I am a registered member of the United Stated Democratic Party, so are the Democrats.
Don't worry this one-it will never hold up...There have already been several court cases that have determined that public schools cannot discipline students for behavior that has occurred off campus. Such cases include O'Brain vs Westlake Board of Education (This was a case about an upset student who developed a webpage devoted about the shortcomings of his band teacher), Klien vs Smith (a student gave the finger to a teacher in an off campus restaurant). My guessers on the subject is that while schools tend to include the off-campus clause in the Code of Conduct-unless the activity is part of a university organization sanction activity or off-campus housing unit-all they can do it refer it to the local authorities.
