I don't recall that there was any move to form the type of council of which you spoke but it does sound like a good idea to implement. Many of our collective activities were done in association with the BSU, of whom most of the officers were Greek anyway so maybe that was why the council-type of org was not needed.

That's a very good point about less regulation from the university. I know chapters that are officially recognized by the university have a lot more university rules they have to follow than the BGLOs.
Basically, the BGLOs can do whatever they want, since the university doesn't have any responsibility for them. That might be worth not getting any money from them, considering the inordinate amount of regulations that are now in place.
I would also say that not getting any university funding might be worth not having to play "gotcha" games with the university admin sometimes. I have seen several cases in my work as a Trustee where the university has been really looking for ways to "get" fraternities and using fairly poor judicial procedures to boot.
