NYU Alpha Sigma Tau: Some chapter Sisters Dismissed

For smaller chapters, this rule can b/c a nightmare when just trying to just hang out.

This is the problem with a rule like this. While I was a collegiate member, we had 19 members at the most. One semester, we were down to 9. Depending on the semester, anywhere from 3-6 sisters hanging out would have been considered an "official sorority event.". Because of this, I'd be willing to bet that between Spring 2004 and Fall 2006, we probably had between 500 and 1,000 sorority events.

I don't know what the alternative is, but it gets a little ridiculous for smaller chapters.

Heck, you may have had course lectures that counted as "official sorority event"s.

Oh yes, we definitely had some of those. And nearly every semester we would recruit at least a couple members from Lion Ambassadors.. So every LA meeting and event could also be considered an "official sorority event."

It really does get out of hand when you start to think about it..

The rule I referenced required 1/3 of members AND a second trigger: alcohol, the expenditure of sorority funds, a location associated with another GLO (i.e. a fraternity house), and I think there was one more thing that I can't think of right now.

The point is that, even if something is not an "official" event, we all know that the RM fall-out still exists when a bunch of women from one house do something wrong. Saying "it wasn't a real event" is a stupid loophole, and we all know it.
