The way things are going on campuses, it may be coming back full circle and many organza ions will continue to exist, but just become super secretive......which will enrage society even more as we know, outsiders don't like secrets.....

The biggest thing that will end any schools attack on the organizations and their "rights to associate" will be the alumni and their $$$.
