Note that in certain places-- PA, for instance-- not only does following
the Society Rules protect the Corporation, but it protects YOU, not just
from fines or lawsuits, but from possible jail time. (Yes, it has happened
in PA: an underage drinking incident at a fraternity party led to the
imprisonment of the president of the fraternity, who, rumor says, was out
of town at the time of the party.)

State to state the laws change. For example it is possible to obtain a one
day liquor license in California. It is easier if you are a nonprofit
organization, but almost any one of good character can do this, for a fee.
Of course this is all a moot point of the Society tells you "no."
