It's comical to me that a school would require students to apply for a party permit like Stanford apparently does.

That is true at Vanderbilt for fraternities, so I suspect at other schools too. Required at Vandy to identify who's responsible for and thus accountable for the party, which includes meeting requirements such as checking IDs at the door to ensure no non-students are present, non-drinking party monitors who also escort too-drunk individuals back to their dorms, no hard alcohol.
