Here's a quote from the school's website:
The Greek Liaison Office acts as a communication link and advocate between Greek-affiliated students and the University. Fraternities and sororities at the University of Colorado are not legally affiliated with the University. The Greek Liaison Office also assists in the implementation of good self-government and positive leadership development.
As a University we do not exercise direct control over the Greek system. We are however, not without influence. The Greek Liaison Office works closely with all of the various national headquarters, local alumni boards, and advisors. We are also here to assist parents of CU-Boulder's Greek-affiliated students.
It's been like that since I enrolled in fall of '94. It's even gone so far that we were once told not to put the schools official logo on our t-shirts because it implied a direct relationship. If you really want to know why we went dry I'll have to start a new thread or e-mail you. Basically it was mounting pressure from school, parents and the community after the unfortunate death of a freshman sorority girl in the spring of '94.
