Dress code to reduce risk?

[scoobis]

At our house we've been having trouble with people coming to parties and either stealing from the house (ipods, laptops, etc.)damaging property or provoking fights and making it a dangerous situation like bringing weapons. This week it got so out of control we had to call the police. Many come from a local community college but the majority find a way to sneak into our yard from the woods behind out house. More often than not they are dressed the same baggy clothes, oversized shirts, bling-bling, do-rags,bandannas, throwback jerseys etc. People trying to dress like gangstas essentially. This isn't a racial thing whatsoever because we galdy admit people to our parties no matter what their color, it just seems white, black, hispanic whatever people who dress this way usual bring trouble to the party.

My suggestion to the chapter was to establish a dresscode barring people from our parties who dress in this manner just like alot of bars around here. But we're are afraid of being deemed racist for prohibiting a style that is closely related to the black community. I've researched this dresscode at bars online and it seems to have mixed feelings. We're in no means a racist house we have a very diverse group of guys here but we just want to keep the wrong crowd out. My mentality on the subject is if you dress like a criminal (which i feel the hip-hop/gansta image represents) you should be expected to be treated like one.

Do you think that carrying somthing like this out would get our chapter in trouble for discrimination or feel any repercussions from an IFC or somthing plus would this make us look like a racist house? And keep in mind we would hold EVERYONE up to this standard no matter what race.

I appreciate any suggestions and comments you can provide
