Trying hard not to turn this into an "us vs them" situation, but...
I used to help advise our chapter at UNT. A lot of the "cultural" Greeks will use socials as fundraisers for the chapters, and there are already a ton of hoops that we have to jump through to get these off the ground (I can't speak for other groups, but ours are planned well in advance, with insurance/deposits/approvals/marketing completed before the semester begins). So, not only does that chapter lose money by not being able to host the socials they want, they also lose the opportunity to recoup the money they've already spent. The type of function that this individual was at is not the same as the events that we host, so issuing the blanket ban seems like a knee-jerk reaction.
Also, knowing UNT's culture, this is just going to create a ton of underground parties or folks going to Dallas or Fort Worth, then driving back to Denton drunk.
