No way of avoidance
The only thing they did wrong was not register it, which had no effect on what happened. They had a guest list. They didn't let the guys in (I guess they snuck through a window, but I would guess they walked through the front door like we did once at their house). Granted they are notorious for parties and wierd things that happen, but you open your house up for a party and you'll get screwed.
Funny story about Sigma Chi's (the ones across the street who recently had the shooting). We had a party last november and it was going pretty well. Except we are dry so no alcohol was on the premisis. SO girls would go over to Sigma Chi's and drink and then leave and come back to our house. Those smart girls! Evenually around 12:30 or so, they got pissed off at us (for some reason) and wanted to start a fight or something. We're not a fighting fraternity (sorry if you thought every fraternity does) so we just ignored their group of 15 or so guys across the street from our house in a circle planning. They got bored and dispersed, so we thought. Turns out two of them snuck in and were walking through the house trying to steal something (I knew they were Sigma Chi's because they were in the big group and the one was wearing a sweatchirt with Huge Sigma Chi letters on it). I actually followed them from floor to floor but didn't let them know I was following them. They then saw a potato cannon on the second floor and picked it up. Hucked it out the window and onto one of our cars. Those little punks. Cracked the windshield. I yelled to get the hell out of our house. And they started to book for the stairs and went out the front door. We were pissed off for about a week and planning to get them back. But another house that dislikes them (there are more than a couple) got them back for something they did to them by Somehow breaking a couple of their windows with bottles or something like that. We felt that that was payment enough. You play with fire you get burned.
Moral of the story is: Be more stringent on your guest list and lock your windows.
