We thought Fort Myers was in the United States of America, so we respectfully said we are coming anyway. For those who keep arguing that at this point we should have respected the university's wishes, you are missing the point. Telling a group of students they can't organize and function on campus is not a rule, it's discrimination. Don't minimize the importance of our plight. First amendment freedoms are as equally important to fraternities as applied to any other group. We (the undergraduate students) have the same rights as every other students. Universities can't simply exclude groups from campus while recognizing other groups, and we will prevail on this point, I promise you.

KSig Advisor -
My apologies, you did post this earlier and I even quoted it in an earlier post. But, now it kind of looks like you are changing your story. In my above quote you are saying that the Administration just said "No" and didn't give you any information. But, in this earlier post you are admitting that the Administration basically said, "Not now. We are inviting groups." Probably asking groups to present and the best fit would be allowed.
So which is it? The Administration said "Not now" and you all said we're going to do it anyway? Which is what you said earlier.
Or, your new story? The Administration said "No" and nothing else. So you went ahead thinking that it would be acceptable?
