major sticking point...
Thanks for the information!
The only thing that I believe is the major sticking point, and one that sort of confuses me, is the fact that DU in the Phillippines did not optain approval from the International Fraternity, nor go through a colony process. The chartering of a chapter, much less initiating members, without the approval of that fraternity's national hq is grounds for expulsion in most if not all fraternities. Its illegal use of all the fraternities symbols, rituals, materials, etc...
Bear in mind I only speak from my experience in Sinfonia and what I know of the U.S. greek system. Any interest group, regardless of location or geography or country, IMHO must follow the rules of that organization in order to be a legal entity and arm of that group. Doesn't matter if its the U.S., Canada, Japan, Phillippines, etc... you must follow the proper procedures to be first a colony and then a chapter.
My 2 cents.
