Any non-student could wear any letters they want because they're not subject to the GVSU student code. But, a GVSU student is not allowed to wear TKE letters because they are signifying that they belong to an expelled organization, which is a violation of the Student Code. Most colleges and universities have similar clauses in their student codes as well.

Well, say a sorority had its charter lifted by its nationals because they didn't make numbers or some such relatively benign reason. Schools usually follow the national HQ's lead and derecognize the GLO. Technically, this GLO is expelled - are you saying these women wouldn't be allowed to wear letters??
If so, that's a gross violation of free speech rights, especially considering it's a state-sponsored school. I went to a state school in PA and if the school had even tried to keep any of the members of closed chapters from wearing letters, they would have found themselves faced with a lawsuit.
If the ex-bros aren't wearing letters by direction of TKE, that's fine. But I would be very very careful about investing the school with powers it simply does not possess.
