There we go!! This is the argument right here Knight Rider, and I'm being serious. This is the precise rule we think is unconstitutional. FGCU is basically inventing a rule that in order to be a registered student organization that we have to "have membership in a governing council" aka "we have to be recognized by the IFC." Such a rule puts our civil liberties in the hands of our fellow students, which is unconstitutional. Neither you nor I have the right to tel any other student he can't be recognized by the university unless we, as a "governing council" recognizes him first. Post Brown v. Board of Education, the gov't (FGCU) can't deny us right simply because our fellow citizens (IFC, Greeks, students) don't want us around. We all have rights regardless of what others want!! This is America, we are all equal!!!! That is our entire point.

FGCU did not invent this rule. Many schools require council membership for liability purposes.
So it sounds like your issue is not with FGCU, but with IFC, an entity that does not want you at this time.
