The Moderator James Is Correct

Sigma Chi Fraternity sued Purdue University 120 years ago, and won, on exactly the same issue. The power that administrators have is assumed on the basis that most undergrads don't know their rights. Of course there are cases where university officials correctly act in the interests of safety and good order. Too often, however, administrators assume the power to make sweeping pronouncements with no legal standing to do so. Greeks are starting to fight back. Take the good advice others here have given you. Seek legal help, or the help of the ACLU.
