[*]Other hometown events will not be limited in number, however only local PNMs may be invited. Meaning only Birmingham PNMs may attend an event in Birmingham, etc.[/LIST]
Couldn't this significantly impact out-of-state PNMs for whom there are not hometown events? My sister was invited to events for several houses prior to going through recruitment at Bama, and almost all were somewhere in Alabama.
(For explanation's sake, we are not from Alabama.)

The liability has just gotten too great for the individual members, the chapters, Panhellenic, and the University. It's not just underaged drinking that can occur when HS students visit campus overnight, although that is a significant part of the problem. But if anything bad happened to a PNM (even a random car accident), the liability can fall on everyone since her stay could legally be considered a sorority/Panhellenic/University "sanctioned" recruitment event.

Soo...they're just passing along the liability to the non-sorority members? I still say this makes no sense. I think it's less of a "liability issue" and more of a "OMG she's dirty-rushing" issue. But Panhellenic is calling it a "liability issue" just to save face. What's to say that Jane Highschooler stays with random-person-she-doesn't-know-who-isn't-in-a-sorority and spends all her time with Suzy Sorority Girl?

This is more to my point. Alabama is seeing TONS more OOS kids (esp. from Texas where no such events take place) and this will definitely be a negative impact for them.
