I won't speak for NPC, since they are specific rules and regulations for expansion.

As you stated earlier, it is allowed to have more than one IFC colony on campus at a time.

I don't know FGCU's greek life administrator so the following is speculation. You say "micromanaging", they probably say "Let's not throw open the flood gates and have 10 colonies come on campus at once. Let's have a modicum of control for our Greek Life expansion."

Many IFC programs on campuses are starting to take control of IFC expansion. Kentucky recently held an IFC expansion. Instead of telling the 3 chapters selected to come on all at one time, they were asked to come on at specific semester intervals. This is an attempt to ensure that all the groups are successful instead of 3 groups coming on at the same time. In that situation, at least 1 would probably fail. This new action by IFC is happening on many campuses.

FGCU didn't tell Kappa Sigma that they could never come to colonize; they were asked to wait. Kappa Sigma is the one that decided to do what they wanted to do. As momma said, "You play, you pay." If you knowingly disregard the rules, be grown up enough to accept the consequences.
