This subject was discussed on another thread, but I'll give you the brief version.
There are four situations that might be defined as "underground" pledging:
1. Having a GLO at a campus where membership in a GLO is grounds for expulsion. Amherst is a good example. Any pledging activities are conducted off campus
2.Having a GLO at a campus where GLO are not "recognized" but are tolerated. Brandeis and Yale are good examples of this situation.
3. Having an organization that is recognized, but due to school regulations (no frosh rush etc) or probation, that group should not have a pledge class or the pledge class includes ineligible people.
4. The group has lost school recognition but has retained (inter) national recognition
5. The organization has lost both school and GLO recognition, but continues to operate. This is actually fairly common. Often a guy thinks they've joined "Alpha Alpha Alpha" to find out five years later that AAA HQ never heard of them.
