Deke4life -- By saying that you are "at a school where membership in a fraternity/sorority is grounds for expulsion," you seem to be describing a true underground chapter rather than just a chapter that is operating without SGA or IFC recognition. I am assuming you have to maintain some degree of secrecy regarding your membership so as to avoid disciplinary action by the school administration?

Unfortunately for you as you seek to find out how similar chapters operate, I doubt you'll find many similar chapters. It is not uncommon for chapters to operate openly without university approval. But true underground, or sub rosa, chapters, which were very common once upon a time, are not so common any more.

I could be quite wrong, but my observation has led me to believe that your fraternity has as much, if not more, experience with sub rosa chapters as anyone these days. I seem to recall one or two sub rosa Deke chapters in New England in the last decade or so.

In any event, good luck!
