does she think non-members would want to hang out in a sorority house all the time anyway? Or is she just trying to promote female unity and bonding in general on the campus, specifically by holding parties at sorority houses instead of fraternities or something?

Probably both. They perceive parties at fraternity houses to be an imbalance of power -- the men own the space, they control the alcohol, etc. If women are throwing the party, there's a better balance. Since the locals can have a bar in the basement or whatever just like the fraternities do, they can have open parties for the campus where both male and female non-members can attend.

It won't be the last, either. The eight Ivy League schools are very different from one another. Being at a small, undergrad-heavy college with a huge Greek system way out in the woods leads to a completely different social scene than you find at a giant research university in the middle of a big city.
