If you don't listen to your nationals, you can definitely risk losing your charter. I sense some shady business occuring. Speaking of Sigma Chi's colony, you can have more than 1 colony on campus. USF currently has 3 active colonies on their campus and everything is just fine. I had interest in trying to get my fraternity(FIJI) started at FGCU. But after seeing how their Greek Life operates, I have no interest at all.

#1 - I can't speak for anyone else, but I have SERIOUS doubts that Kappa Sig's national office called Sigma Chi HQ and asked for support of an off-campus colony. It doesn't work that way.
#2- "It appears that the fraternities and sororities are doing what FGCU says and not what their Nationals says. Now that is risky."
I can guarrantee that no one from Sigma Chi HQ called the Sigma Chi colony and told them that the colony has to support Kappa Sigma's colony. Let me repeat myself: It doesn't work that way.
#3- "If you don't listen to your Nationals, you can definately risk losing your charter."
That is true. You can lose your charter for RMF, hazing, not sending in reports on time, etc. You are not going to lose your charter for not associating with a non-recognized fraternity colony. Does it bear repeating? Yes: It doesn't work that way.
Sigma Chi HQ has a lot more things to worry about than whether their FGCU colony chooses to association or not with a non-recognized colony.
