Seriously, at MSU - and I would venture to guess most other colleges - house parties are usually for chapter members *and* their guests. Guests may include dates, sororities members, prospective members, alumni and their dates, chapter advisors etc. But usually not open to the whole campus. Which is why there is a guest list.

Yeah. Whenever we had "unofficial" parties (i.e. not formally-planned date functions where we rented a venue) like mixers, they were usually restricted to just members of my sorority and whatever other fraternity/sorority we were having the party with. This was sort of the unspoken rule. You just didn't go crashing other groups' mixers very often.
A girl at work was b*tching the other day about how she and her friend were denied entrance at a mixer one night, and about how she thought Greeks were just so elitist for not allowing non-members in. I tried to explain to her that it just isn't done that way, that it isn't because we hate non-Greeks, it's mostly for safety/liability reasons, but she just didn't get it.
"Well," she sniffed, "I won't say anything else because I see you've got letters on
your necklace."
Hmmmm, with that attitude I wouldn't have let her in, either.
