How would a GLO colonize if the Greek system isn't recognized by the school? Would they still publish it as the "XYZ colony at USC"? Forgive me for asking what I'm sure is a stupid question, but I haven't ever heard of this before. I thought that if a college doesn't recognize GLOs anymore that means that they shut all of them down.

The GLO can still colonize and be a part of the off-campus InterGreek Council and the off-campus Panhellenic. The only thing that is different is that there is no formal tie to the campus, no rules coming from campus, no quotas, etc.
We still are members of XYZ Fraternity at Santa Clara University, of course. Our chapter names are all still the same. The only difference, is since the school cut ties with us, they lost all authority to tell us how to run our organizations. We support ourselves now, the way it should be.
The results are interesting. While the administration thought that ending Greek support would phase our the system by 2003, the exact opposite is happening now that they can't check our growth. The fraternities have doubled or tripled in size, and the sororities have done the same, all in a one-year span.
This school is ripe for expansion. We just need some help from the outside to bring in some new houses.
I know AXO used to have a chapter, and it would be very nice to have them back, considering they already have some existing history on our campus. I'm not really sure why they closed (back in 96 I think), but if there was any bad blood it is definately gone by now.
