Many of their members are upperclassmen. They are about to graduate soon. Its not fair that they can't be in a fraternity because the school doesn't think the time is right. The students went straight to nationals and asked nationals to give them a colony.

So the colony members went completely around the school to form this colony.

Their issue is not trying to be a part of FGCU's IFC. They don't have to be. Kappa Sigma, along with Phi Delta Theta broke away from the NIC on their own terms.

NIC=/=IFC.

Kappa Sigma has left many campus IFCs on their own terms because they saw it as a waste. All the Fort Myers,FL colony wants to do is be able to meet on campus and use campus facilities.

So they want a completely unrecognized orginzation to have access to the campus facilities.

Kappa Sigma's national rules are a lot different than Sigma Chi's when it comes to colonizing. Don't get me wrong, Sigma Chi is a great fraternity. But who's doing better nationally? Kappa Sigma. Its the 3rd largest fraternity in the nation. Kappa Sigma is way ahead of Sigma Chi nationally.

Yo, it's not all about size, or it shouldn't be. That comment alone makes me think KS is doing this for the wrong reason.
