Here's what it might be helpful to understand. You're in college and your experience is with your campus. If you say it's working without drama, we have no reason to doubt you on that.

Many if not most of the people looking askance at this idea are alumni, some of whom have experience in some form or another with numerous campuses and who have seen things like this cause problems. Many of us also have some experience with how our HQs have reacted to similar things in the past and tend to look at this in more institutional terms.

You're coming at it from a local, "it's working fine" perspective, and that's understandable. Many of us are coming at it from a fraternity or sorority-wide, "we've seen what can happen" perspective.
