Can anyone name other colleges that have this rule? I agree I can see why university administrations would prefer to have GLOs with some kind of governing body above the university level, but can they really ban ones that don't have that? Or just "strongly discourage" them?

TigerLilly and crzychx - thanks for the UK information. And crzychx - apologies for leaving you off the original "UK list".
Here is a link to the University Policies regarding "Criteria For Consideration of Student Organization Registration as a Social Fraternity or Sorority" at UK.
http://www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/Greek/define.htm
I've posted information specific to recognition.
2. The organization must have recognition as a colony or chapter in good standing of an inter/national social fraternity or sorority as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service under the provisions of Section 86.14 of the regulations promulgated under Title IX of the U.S. Education Act Amendments of 1972. The University of Kentucky will not register a local organization as a social sorority or fraternity. In support of the relationship with an inter/national fraternity/sorority, the organization should receive an annual minimum of one (1) on-campus visit from an inter/national sorority/fraternity staff member or officer, unless granted exception from the Fraternity and Sorority Affairs staff due to extenuating circumstances (e.g., financial restrictions, staffing limitations) or alternative arrangements. To further demonstrate the support from the inter/national organization, its staff and alumni/ae, the student organization will submit for consideration relevant materials in a format deemed appropriate by the Dean of Students which addresses the following items:
a. inter/national support to the organization and its chapters in general,
b. alumni/ae within the vicinity of Lexington,
c. chapters located at college campuses in Kentucky and surrounding states,
d. students, faculty, and/or staff interested in establishing/supporting the organization,
e. previous affiliation with the University of Kentucky (if applicable), and
f. other items as requested by the Dean of Students.
