Its kind of ironic that you brought this subject up. One of my sisters was just telling me about a group that we have here that has underground members that the school doesn't know about. They are a small org, but apparently they have a lot more members than advertised. We also have a another group that was kicked off campus about a decade ago and are not recognized by niether school or nationals, but they still accept members.
The first case is very hush hush. Not very many no about it. And I doubt that these individuals wear their letters in public, since it can't be known that they are members.
In the second case, everyone (except the administration. who probably knows about it but has no proof) knows about them. Although its not very many of them. They wear their letters and it is very visible who their pledges are. They are more accepted because they are seen as a legend.
My question to these individuals (more so in the first case) is that why would you join a sorority/fraternity if you couldn't make it known that you are a member? One of the things I like most about being greek is the pride in your org. It has to be hard to show your pride if your not even supposed to be a member.
