It's a sad state of affairs when a truly sisterly/brotherly gesture is eradicated because a jackass insurance company tells you to do so.
Taxis are great but not an option for everywhere. We were happy to find out that our college town now has two taxi services - but that kind of went in the toilet when we found out they stopped running after 11 PM. UNLESS you make a reservation for later, and I believe you may have had to give a credit card # as well.

I can completely understand why buses are usually required now at official events. No matter how well intentioned, Sally might say she'll stay sober and then end up drinking which leaves someone without a ride, or worse...Sally driving.
Of course no one can tell you what to do in your free time. I know several actives at my old chapter that don't drink as a general rule and everyone knows that if there's an emergency, they'll provide rides. It doesn't have to be an official roster...it can just be sisters who don't often drink handing out their phone number, just in case. (My college town has no taxis, and though the two bars and two fraternity houses are easily within walking distance of campus, the cops seem to be very interested in public intox-es, so people often drive...which makes the non drinkers very popular).
