One point on point, and one tangent
Wellesley College, one of the most prominent women's colleges in the country, doesn't have sororities, but it does have selective "societies" which have a great deal in common with the early literary societies that grew into sororities. I believe that one or more of them actually have Greek-letter names.
>I've been reading some threads over the past couple months where the GLO (not necessarily KD) is recognized by National Headquarters, but not the school itself.
This is the case right now with both Harvard (which has chapters of DG and Theta) and the University of Chicago (which has AOII, DG, and Theta). UC basically tolerates the groups; they can poster on campus, their web pages are linked as "other groups" on the student organizations site, etc., even though they are officially unrecognized. Harvard, on the other hand, is extremely hostile to Greek groups and won't allow them to use school resources in any way (they can't meet in the dorms, etc.).
It was my understanding that these national orgs generally do not allow chapters on campuses without university support, but that they made exceptions for these campuses because of their academic reputations.
