The fight is with FGCU, not the IFC. A group of students, does not have the right to ban a lawful group of students to form an organization. They can prevent that group from being members of their own organization (IFC can vote no to IFC recognition; but they cannot vote to have them not form at all). However, the school itself, by equal protection laws is still bound to let every organization apply to become a registered student organization.
Your organization was formed.

You needed to be a member of a Greek council to be a Greek organization.

You were allowed (by FGCU) to petition for membership in IFC.

IFC didn't want you right now. You'll have to wait.
