This is fairly common with fraternities at SUNY Buffalo. Five Chapters of nationals do this at our school:
Delta Sigma Phi
Zeta Beta Tau
Kappa Sigma
Sigma Alpha Mu
Phi Delta Theta
These chapters are not allowed to hold any events on campus or affiliate with anyone else's events. They can't hold rush, or participate in Greek Week and similar activities. Students are cautioned against joining one of these organizations via ads in our school newspaper and flyers on the Greek Affairs bulletin Board in our Student Union. However, members of these illegal chapters still wear letters and use these organizations names, letters, coats-of-arms/shields and other public insignia despite the fact they can be sued by each organization's National Office.
