It is not only the fact of being reconized as a fraternity on campus by the university but being able to use the facilities that the campus provides for the students. If FGCU does not want them to colonize yet, that is the schools choice at this time. But, these guys did not do what Sig Ep did a few years ago when their nationals pulled old before they became brothers by becoming Alpha Omega, I believe. This fraternity function and pledge in members even without being reconized. They were also able to participate intramurals as the organization and were able to use the facilities on campus. It took a few years than Sig Ep decided to recolonize at FGCU and they were still on campus as Alpha Omega. The problem is that if Kappa Sigma wishes to become a club on campus it has to be open to all students on campus, male and female. According to Kappa sigma bylaws, the fraternity is only open to males and therefore, they cannot become a club on campus. I come from a Greek System with close to 20 fraternities in it and I believe that with more faternities it makes for a better Greek community. With more Greeks you have a better chance to get more greeks in student government, internships and job placements later. Although we might like eachother at times we will su[[ort one another over a non greek. I hope that the greek community at FGCu decides that they will be better with more greeks on campus. It should show the dedication that these young men have had with all the hurdles they have had to jump to become Kappa Sigmas and hopefully part of the Greek community of campus.
