I'm not sure how I feel about this -- it seems to be a zoning issue, and the laws seem to be reasonable. Though, if the property just has zoning status as a fraternal organization and it doesn't specify whether or not the fraternity in question must be recognized, then they've definitely got a case. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out -- I'm sure lots of universities with unrecognized chapters still operating (Many of which are TKE chapters) are paying attention.
TKE pulls charters all the time. I read somewhere it is about 10 a year. I respect the fact that they stand behind chapters unlike some nationals. Universities are always trying to get rid of fraternities and sometime the reasons are bullshit. A few years ago, Stevens Tech( NJ) asked SPE to pull a chapter's charter because of a noise violation. That's a joke.
