There are Rules and they were written for good reasons, but there also needs to be some common sense applied. Many years back we had a J-Board that started getting a bit infraction happy. A prime example, one Rule is actives cannot cross the threshhold outside of the house. A member or two's hand or knee (the front row is on their knees with other members filling in behind them) "broke the plane" of the threshhold by like an inch or two while singing the door song and clapping. J-Board gave infractions. I appealed to the (then) Director of Greek Life and he told them they needed to back off a bit and concentrate more on "real" infractions.
