Moose Girl,

You aren't alone, I think this is a problem many greeks across Canada have faced. Even UBC has had it's share of student gov't not liking greeks, but at the same time many people on the AMS are greek including 2 presidents in the past 5 years. AT UBC we have to pay dues to our student gov't and even if we didn't pay fees we are still students of that university and therefore have the same rights as all the other students, greek or not. As far as meeting places go, you and the other greek orgs should be able to book conferences or classrooms. Currently UBC sororities don't have housing and we meet in classrooms and book them for recruitment as well.

At UBC during election time the candidates usually have forums to answer questions - maybe you could use this or an opportunity like this to question them. Get all your greek orgs together with some tough questions and point out the great contributions you have made to your campus (U of Windor I'm assuming) and community. The new student gov't can not stop you from participating in club days or advertising on campus. I'm not sure where your university stands on greek issues, but like it or not, they have to treat you with equal respect.
