Ideas needed

I'm sure liability and not overly affectionate fraternity men is the pivotal issue here. I don't remember the number, but Lambda Chi does have a similar rule. Anytime we were in the dining hall or whatever and another brother would come in, we'd tell one of the ones who was already there to leave so we wouldn't have to file paperwork. Of course we were just kidding. Rules like this are made for good reasons, but you need to use common sense as to when they apply.

Does PHA have a police force or something? Who do these girls think is going to catch them?

FIPG and risk management and numbers has always been a bit murky. I suspect that the "Ten Sister Rule" has some sort of risk management policy at it's root. I am not aware of anything that lists a hard, fast number for FIPG purposes, Percentages, yes. Hard specific body counts, no.

Certainly attending class would never be considered a fraternity event, no matter how many guys are there - there is no fraternity purpose in going to the class, the purpose is to get smart.

Meeting after class at a local campus hang out is a different matter and it could, under some circumstances, fall into that FIPG murky hole of "what is a fraternity event?".

An exchange with the the Alpha Beta Gamma sorority would be a fraternity event.

Some rush and recruitment events could be considered fraternity events but I don't know how many chapters go through the drill of filling out and retaining the form as required by FIPG rules.

Ive always been told that they are afraid other houses are going to tell on them if they find out, girls talk a lot I guess. There is a police force of sorts, they send ifc/pha delegates to registered events to check if everyone is following the rules. One of those better safe then sorry, people can get in a lot of trouble these days. Its real easy to get kicked off campus in these modern times.
