You are not supposed to have a party with alcohol on bid day. However, lots of groups (like yours) get around it by having a party that starts serving at midnight or somesuch thing.
You were definitely hazed and by voting to keep the dry pledge period, your chapter is pretty much saying "we're going to haze again." This isn't a relatively new thing like no scavenger hunts. This has been regarded as hazing for ALMOST FORTY YEARS.
If another sorority on campus wanted to bust you, reporting that you do this to your NMs is all it would take. ESPECIALLY if initiated sisters who are under 21 are drinking at events.

The solution would be that if you are 21 and don't live with members, and are in either dorms that allow of-age students to drink, or live off campus, just don't drink in front of others for the time period. I'll repeat the question - If you ARE at least 21, is this something important enough to "do something" about (for the short new member period)?

Yes, it IS important enough to do something about. This is pretty much the definition of hazing - not allowing pledges to do something that is perfectly legal (if they're 21) and that has NOTHING to do with learning the history or policies of the organization or the chapter.
