Tom, I can see where my words could be taken personally, and I in no way mean to offend, but the average college student is under pressures today to make exemplary grades for graduate programs which are the anticipated next step following undergrad and/or to get out, get a job and move on. I don't see where the vast majority can do this and seriously undertake founding a new student organization that is based on selective membership without university support and some alumni input. Greeks learn great skills, there is no denying this. But the vast majority of adcomms and employers don't give a flip that you were philanthropy chair or planned meals for the chapter house, no matter how well you word it. Employers are going to want to see practical experience via internships. You can do both. But the practical application of textbook theory is going to count for more.
And if a campus administration is adamant about not allowing Greek Life on campus, why rally against the administration on principle when that same energy could be more effectively channeled in to school and approved activities? I just don't see the point in being a martyr to a cause that has a 4-year shelf life. Let's face it, the vast majority do not maintain high levels of involvement post-grad. Some do, but most don't. So unless you have some help and support getting started, I just don't see the point.

No, it is a fne point that You present!
But, without Students and Alum Support then there will be no school.
Am I correct or not?
Colleges depend on these two factors. ??
