I definitely agree.
OmegaPDprez, I read your group's website and specifically the information for parents section. I have to say, you might have a really difficult time appeasing parents (and some PNMs) if you're an underground sorority. I know you have a public no-hazing policy, but honestly, nothing
screams bad news like an underground greek org. I know it seems unfair, since that's obviously not what you're about, but there's been too many incidents with underground orgs in the past.
Being an uninsured underground local sorority is like a trifecta of risk. All it takes is one thing to go wrong and you've got a whole mess of problems on your hands. For instance, a disgruntled former member could bring up a plethora of allegations against you (president) and the other members -- even if they're not true -- and you'll have a hell of a time getting your name cleared because you're underground (i.e. NO PROTECTION from that sort of thing). You and/or other members could get expelled, or worse, find yourself slapped with a bunch of legal problems.
I think you should try to find some way to work with the system, for the protection of yourself and your friends in your org.
