No one should violate GLO policies, alum or otherwise. But GLO policies need to be communicated to alum members particularly if they might have changed since the alum was active.
That said, I can just as easily imagine that the correcting of SuperAlum was regarded as an opportunity to take her down a peg as I can imagine it was tactfully handled but SuperAlum overreacted in return. Since none of us were actually there, it seems unlikely that we'll ever know.
But I will say this, although I don't really think that anyone should be visibly intoxicated at even event*, I don't think that groups need to be weirdly Puritanical about their alcohol policies.
For liability reasons, a blanket policy about serving and consuming alcohol on the groups' property makes compete sense to me. Feeling obligated to abstain from drinking or explain your drinking because you anticipated going on the property later seems a little odd to me for members or alums over the age of 21.
*honestly, yes, even undergraduate members over 21 probably shouldn't be visibly liquored up at formals or whatever. But I understand that reality falls short of the ideal.
