Then the new members can contact the school to become recognized and get their house back.

--They have been initiated as ADPhi
--They did try to recruit and failed to be competitive because they do not have a house. They met a lot of great guys who were like, "I love you guys, but...."
--The house is leased by SigEp for 3 years from the school... I don't see ADPhi getting the house back. As Russell mentioned there is a lot more going into this than y'all know. W&L's Greek system is very unlike many other Greek systems due to the sheer percentage of people involved.
What a lot of folks seem to missing is that the guys never had any claim to the house--it's owned by the school. If tomorrow the school decided it wanted to end all leases to Greeks and turn the houses into dorms, it could.
Russ, while there are prominent SigEp alums in the administration, I don't think that's a huge factor. I do think the relative sizes of SigEp and ADPhi is a factor. I think they also may be antsy about the events or whatever that SigEp alleges happened to cause the charter pull. It's also the pending legal action; in discussions with our IFC President he's as much said that his hands are tied until all the court stuff is over. I don't see recognition happening. I am 95% sure that the guys are currently pursuing another even more creative option...
I have no comment about everything else.
