MysticCat, to answer as best I can, a college student has constitutional rights. Those rights have to be upheld by a state school. Now, state schools will try not to uphold those rights if they can get away with it. However, generally speaking a national organization can help a student group leverage for their constitutional rights (we are speaking here about the right to association, which is covered as an extension to the first amendment). Some campuses try to stifle expansion or Greek organizations altogether. That is why I am suggesting to the student to put together an interest group, try to find national backing and then go to the campus and see what they say.
