I have a question. Is it just AST or all NPCs (I assume it is all) that does not allow events where alcohol is the main function of the event?
I just do not understand how chapters are allowed to have chapter events at bars, establishments whose main function is alcoholic beverage service. I'm seriously confused on how this works. Why would you even have a chapter event that every sister could not legally attend? Isn't the idea of a fraternity/sorority social to bond with your sisters and also give everyone in the org a chance to bond/meet people in another org?
(I went to a college where we did not have mixers.)

Basically what 33girl said. Like WVUAlphaPhi's chapter, we rent out a local bar from the hours of 8-11. UNLIKE her chapter, we do have strict carding policies in effect. The bar itself is not strict about underage drinking but we as a chapter do not permit underage drinking at our functions. Those who are under 21 are permitted to come in, dance to our DJ, eat snacks and have a good time. However, these are functions that we have as a chapter (Crush Parties, Back to School Bash, End of the Year Blowout) where there is a specific guest list. For mixers with fraternities, we have dry functions.
