IvySpice: OK, let me clarify. I agree with you that lawyers are generally not the answer to what is more of a political problem than a legal one. And I do agree with you that one should never enter into a lawsuit unless prepared to lose, and pay dearly for the experience.
What I had in mind was pro bono involvement by alumni attorneys from a number of fraternities and sororities - or - a limited representation of the system by one attorney retained specifically for the purpose of carrying their message to the administration.
You are right about the power of private universities. But, there are two influences on them greater than on public schools: first, they are very sensitive to public 'trouble', and second, they are extremely sensitive to unhappy alumni.
The description of the Greek Life dean in one post above ("mean, rude", unresponive, dictatorial) is typical of a bullying, self-important administrator. people like this are bullies becaose NO ONE EVER OPPOSES THEM. Undergrads are short-sighted and scared. What absolutely staggers these people and sets them back on their rude heels is to be faced by someone their own age who has the confidence and substance and authority to get the attention of the right people.
