I still disagree with your definition of underground. "Underground" in this case implies that groups are organized/behaving in secret, whether that be in secret from their HQ or their host institution.
In my chapter's case, nothing is secret. The university knows we are there. We are simply unrecognized. We receive no funds from the university, we have no rights to promote ourselves on university property (aside from the basic promotion that ALL students have, i.e painting the cannon). That's what I mean by following university policy. If the university says we cannot advertise in certain places, like residence halls, then we don't.
Again, we aren't engaged in any clandestine behaviour, as the term underground would imply.

and this is exactly how 95% of Canadian campuses are in relation to greeks - not recognition, but perhaps apathetic acceptance.... except of course for UBC, Wilfred Laurier, and Calgary where they are recognized by the schools - and Queens were GLOs and any secretive org. is banned (deemed potentially unpatriotic and a security risk at the outbreak of the Great War).
