All of that has been done, and it has got us (greek community) no where. I am looking for court cases, or University decisions in which the Greek organization wins. It doesn't matter what the situation is in each case cause i would like to read anything.

I would urge you to read the advice from TSteven and others, above. Below are details of a court case which may or may not be of interest, since you asked. Though again, there is some excellent advice above which may be much more suitable.

....So I started looking for alternatives. I was speaking to the executive director of DKE and he told me that a state school cannot actually deny recognition to any group that wants to come on campus.
And luckily he gave me a Precedent setting Supreme Court Case, Healy Vs. James 1972 that gave me ammunition.
Basically the supreme court case stated that publicly funded schools cannot deny recognition to new groups seeking affiliation.
The actual case involved the Students for a Democratic Society. The university didn't want the group to come to campus because it had a reputation for violent protest. The Supreme Court decided that the reputation for violence was not nough to keep a chapter from forming. Here is a link for the case:

So I printed it out and gave it to a militant friend. And he went and yelled at the administration, threatened them with a law suit and voila. The moratorium was lifted...
