Hello.
My personal view on the matter is that, if it isn't an activity
specifically organized by Alpha Phi Omega or with the APO name clearly
connected to it somehow, it falls out of APO jurisdiction even if
_everyone_ in attendance is a brother or a pledge. Thus, it is not
subject to the alcohol guidelines. If there is a legal precedent which
says I am wrong, then I guess I'm wrong but it doesn't make sense. You
cannot control the members of the chapter, only the activities of the
chapter. So, if a brother was having a big birthday bash, for instance,
and invited all his/her APO friends (including pledges) and alcohol was
present, there's not much you could do about it.
