Ed,

I like your deadbeat dad anaolgy. As far as presidents who do things at the school to build up their own resume...don't even get me started, LOL.

Unless the fire department is inspecting ALL housing where large groups live - do you also have like the football players' house, the baseball house etc? - what they are doing IS harassment. If the school would say they are concerned about the safety of houses with more than X amount of people in them and want the fire dept to check on them that would be fine. To target fraternities, however, is completely wrong. Especially since they don't recognize you. It's like if the government denies the mafia exists they can't pass a bill giving $$ to efforts to fight it.

You cannot be expelled for joining a fraternity if all its activities take place off campus, any more than they can expel you for joining Jews for Jesus or the Aryan Nation. DKE used to have the info about this on their site but I can't find it. You can get those nice students down the road at Dickinson Law to fight this for you (while they are still there, that is).

I think this is going to be WAY more difficult for the guys than the girls since so many of the sorority rules are already super strict.
