You may be able to ignore IFC rules, but if you are a registered campus organization, there may be rules you have to follow for that, or if you are housed in university housing, they definitely have rules you have to follow. (Plus of course state and local laws.) You might want to look into those.
Plus, this shouldn't be about JUST the law. This should also be about risk management (we live in a litigous society), and it should be about living up to high ideals. Alcohol at rush parties may give potential members the idea that partying is what the fraternity is all about, and I presume you are about much more than that. Does it help you get the type of new members you want?
And if you're looking into IFC affiliation down the road, you'll be facing some stiff new rules. Each campus' IFC rules tend to be pretty similar to the NIC rules, so if you join CSUN's IFC, you'll have to abide by them, even if you're not national. Starting off now by following the rules will show the other fraternities on campus you are serious about joining IFC - remember, they don't have to let you in!
