I didn't know we had as many as 12 but I know that the national leadership is very responsible and each case is considered in its own light. Like Tom Earp said above, everyone with a chapter at the University of Colorado is unrecognized. I don't have all the details but I'm told that administrators at Colorado State arbitrarily suspended the Pikes without due process and for no legitimate reason. That scenario is not at all unknown as hundreds of posts on this board have affirmed. I don't think anyone here will disagree that if a chapter is wrongly treated, someone at the national level should stand up for them. I know of nationals that are too timid to do so.
We've had chapters at small schools where the university has derognized the entire system. We still have chapters at some of those. Having an unrecognized chapter doesn't mean it's a "rogue" chapter. It may just mean that the school does not recognize greeks. We have a chapter at Princeton and had a colony at Harvard. Greeks are not recognized on either campus, but the fraternities and sororities there are hardly "rogue". The newspaper article sounded like the writer had an agenda; not surprising.
