I admit that I am not speaking with full knowledge of the situation, so take this for what it's worth. Just something to consider.
First of all, IFC is made up of a representative from each chapter. Those representatives would have to vote on adopting this policy. So the Greeks shouldn't be pissed at the school because it was a policy their very own chapters voted to pass (at least the IFC Chapters).
Chances are, these IFC policies are actually in line with the Inter/National Orgs policies (pretty sure no fraternity is allowed to host a party with open access to non members and uncontrolled access to alcohol). So they aren't going to get much sympathy from HQ and Administrators (unless there's some huge part of this that I'm missing).
The chapters may be feeling scapegoated, but they also should consider their actions and how they may/may not be playing into the stereotype that they also complain about. In other words, if someone doesn't want to be known as a drunken sorority slut, they should not act like a drunken sorority slut (that is an EXAMPLE...I'm not calling anyone names!). Maybe the IFC made this move because the parties on "State" Patty's Day were causing more harm? I don't know...I wasn't there for the discussion.
And finally...if chapter members find their party policies too restrictive, just go to a party hosted by some "independents" that don't have to follow Risk Management Policies and have your fun there. Nothing wrong with partying with non-Greek members...they drink just like everyone else!
