Unless it's that "three members at anyplace is an event" bullshit.

As I said, my bigger question is who would enforce it?

I was just thinking the exact same thing!

The idea that three members of ABC sorority hanging out at the XYZ fraternity house could constitute an official ABC sorority event just seems bizarre. Especially if say three members of ABC sorority just happen to be girlfriends or friends.

It is bizarre, but unfortunately an issue we have to deal with in this case. That's why I'm concerned. We could have one girl, we could have 50 attend. I have a PERSONAL feeling about whether girls getting an e-mail invite from their friends who happen to be in a fraternity should be able to go to a party, but I think that campus and headquarters see it differently. We've had problems with this issue in the past.

Like TSteven said, the fraternity is covering their butts by renting busses & 3rd party vendors, which is ABOVE AND BEYOND what happens at most schools over the summer. You can't say this fraternity is off limits because of what "might" happen.

They're going to do what they want to do. They should know enough by now how to keep safe at a party (which is the real cause for concern, not whether it is an "official event"). Unless you want to completely violate due process and make girls quit, just let it go.

Also, keep in mind that for all you know, there are girls in their hometowns for the summer doing things that are FAR bigger RM/morals/you name it violations.
