I'm surprised harsher penalties were not delt. If the evidence is plain and clear I think expulsion would be the least of punishments they receive.

What has been done so far was done by the school. Criminal charges will probably follow in light of the publicity this has received. (It probably would not have without the publicity)
I know that in our state - those kegs of beer are tagged by state law - a keg registration form must be filled out by the purchaser and this information must be kept by the seller until the keg is returned. I don't know if Illinois has such a law but I am sure they have something similar - If this is the case, and they have any type of dram shop law to go with it, the purchaser of the kegs is in deep shit. He could be criminally liable for the physical injuries suffered by some of the girls.
I did think that it was interesting that these kids realized the legal jurisdiction of the park in which they had their party - they are probably in a lot less trouble in dealing with the "tree cops" than they would be in dealing with regular law enforcement.
