I had forgotten the GLOs there were not officially recognized. Let's look at it this way - what gives the admin the right to tell freshmen to do something (and use money and time to do so) that isn't officially part of the university? I mean, what if they said "don't get a library card at the town of Princeton library" or "don't join the local chapter of the KKK/Jews for Jesus/whatever"? How about if they advised the students on which local churches they should or should not worship at?
If they want to keep denying Greek life's impact, they're just going to look dumber and dumber. I'm not in favor of first semester rush either, but as far as this situation, if they don't get anything for doing it, why would they?

I didn't think most fraternities and sororities would even set up a chapter at a university that didn't allow those groups? How do you even begin to have grade minimums or even student membership requirements if the organization is not even, technically, a student organization? Hmmm, very interesting. What about panhellenic. Can they still froce two or more sororities to have a panhellenic system if they are not even recognized by the school? And, yes, aren;t the eating clubs the same thing in a way? Why are those OK? Is it just because of the traditions?
