Just my 2 cents on this topic
The Kappa Sigma Zeta Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha was just rechartered there in October of 2001.
This was the oldest fraternity at the college I beleive. In fact their HC- owns the current Kappa Sigma House and rents it to them at this time, last I heard.
So now I am quite sure LCA will revoke this group, as they have done in accordance with past policy on campuses like Colby, Waynesburg etc.
However-as a side note- from my limited experience with schools "dumping greeks" it seems that if they are strong organizations with houses and money- they wont go away anyway. Take a stroll in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and you'll see a group of large greek houses, with 80+ members, the college "doesnt recognize them".
I am not sure what Alfred is like, but I dont really see how a language house or non smoking apartment building replaces greek organizations.
My personal thought is that as schools take this route- you'll have fraternities operate out of the shadows- aka mid 1800's.
My college has about 6 "off campus" illegal groups- two just celebrated 10 years off campus- they still recruit/party/have houses etc. What is the point- they get less regulation and you still cant get rid of them.
Best of luck to my brothers at Alfred, and the rest of the Greeks.
Dont take it sitting down, and DONT let them take property you own.
Gratzi!
