I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. Again, I'm sorry.
Who hires the bouncers? You guys? The bar? In most cases, it's the bar, right? If the bar hired them, then they'd be responsible. If it were you guys, then you'd be responsible, right? Is there an independent bouncer company that operates for the sole purpose of working the door at frat and sorority parties?
Dunno, it's been my experience as a bartender that these bouncers are entrusted and most likely under some kind of responsiblity of the bar because these are the freaking people who have the first say as to who gets to drink and NOT.
I just find it hard to believe because any bar who cares about its business and reputation would give a shit about a) not getting slapped with fines and b) not getting stiffed with monetary penalties just because some fraternity and/or sorority wanted to have a function at their venue.
