There's usually two votes

1 - to offer a bid to become a "pledge"

2 - to initiate, following a period of learning and testing

It's unlikely any of the national fraternity-sorority groups would establish a chapter on your campus unless both votes were allowed.

You could allow "local" chapters to start and exist, and have any rules you want (assuming yours is a private school). Locals, though, lack the officers' manuals, training conf., traditions, and leadership that national affiliation allows.

There are several schools which only allow locals, and one campus website I stumbled across had local fraternity pages showing hazing - which would have gotten any national affiliated chapter suspended.
