My college banned general GLOs for that very reason during that time period. Not so coincidentally, a lot of extra liberal feminist student affairs people joined the staff at that time. Luckily, the last of them just retired so hopefully with new leadership we can revisit the GLO issue -- especially since both AEPi and another NIC org have official (for the org) unrecognized (by the school) chapters there.
