DrPhil, I hope this isn't your first time at the "but it MUST be national policy since my chapter does it" rodeo. We have that all the time on here (see the drinking in letters threads, all 5289 of them).

As far as taudelt talking about state schools - I know where he is going, but the fact of the matter is, if the state school decides they want to be dickheads about something like that, the students don't always have the money or time or (the most important) want to forfeit their career, to fight it. My state owned alma mater basically forced a fraternity (that was recognized and supported by their national) to close. The guys in it didn't want to resign, but they were told if they didn't, they'd be suspended from school. These are students of...I wouldn't say humble means, but not rich enough to get a superlawywer to clean things up. They're also ed majors who would have a hard time explaining to a school/prospective employer why their college expelled them.

In other words, yes what you're saying is true, but unfortunately it is often not real life. The best thing to do is to go to the school first and tell them you want to start a fraternity/Greek life, for the RIGHT reasons.
