The chapter you refer to I believe was the LXA chapter at ASU - regarding the death of an underage girl who, if memory serves, received alcohol at a chapter function, and was hit by a car on the way home, or otherwise involved in some sort of traffic accident, which killed her.

Reading this incident, it is important to note that the chapter could have been liable for her death even if she was of age. I don't know what the law is like in your neck of the woods but I'm sure it's very similar. A party host/hostess can be liable for death involving (whether caused by or happened to) a party guest.
For example, if a guest leaves a party after consuming too much alcohol and gets into their car and causes an accident, the part host/hostess could be found at fault.
This is also something chapters should be aware of (if indeed it's law). Which is why many (inter)nationals require events involving alcohol be at thrid party vendors.
