The full cite is 20 U.S.C. 1681(a)(6)(A).
She may need more than that. We had to get a ruling from the Dept. of Education recognizing that we're social, not professional. Don't know whether that might be the case for Beta Sigma Phi, but not being a "traditional" collegiate social sorority, the school might want more than the Articles of Incorporation. I wonder if the non-collegiate nature of BSP could aske a difference.
