The GC legal eagles can correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought the ranking was: state----->school----->organization
I thought so but was not 100% sure as I do not live in these states.

So if state law trumps school rules and school rules trump the organizations rules (in most cases) how do the Keydets of VMI, Corp at A&M and Cadets at The Citadel get away with the blatant hazing of plebes? I believe these schools have friends in high places who look out for them and/or turn a blind eye. It does seem a tad hypocritical of T A&M to clamp down on Greek organizations but not the Corp but as others have said A&M is definitely different.
