What I've found is that generally Deaf people don't consider themselves disabled and deaf people do.
(Fairly strong correlation between the capital D and those that don't consider themselves)
As for the Greek system at Gallaudet, I'd say that it is unusual in that I can't come up with many schools that have both *multiple* locals that have been around for more than a Century and national GLOs. However given the alumni support for the locals and *high* number of Gallaudet Alumni who now are employed by the school, I expect that those locals would be considerably more likely to survive a Risk Management issue that (for example) might cause University of Maryland to shut down an NIC fraternity.
(I expect that the only schools with a higher number of school alumni in high positions in the school would be the Military Academies).
I've visited Gallaudet looking for information on my fraternity there (Alpha Phi Omega), quietest library *EVER*....
