Don't you have to be on campus to exist as an organization. Without the university, there is no university organization (as a Greek Organization is). It is composed of students.
My campus has lost 5 fraternities of 12 in the last 2 years (3 hazing and 2 numbers). One fraternity president was not enrolled in school last semester.
Sororities are excellent and continue to grow and excell. They are also the only ones who carry the system-do all community service, philanthropy, make the grades, and get involved on campus.
We are considering something that would not punish so much as encourage the boys to hold their own.
Yes, sometimes it can be taken too far. I struggle trying to find the balance everyday. When the fire marshall considers condemning fraternity houses and the city is threatening to change zoning to disallow the existence of the fraternity houses, they call the university to "fix" it. Yes, if the university does not recognize fraternities they still have a brotherhood. BUT student organizations are made up of students and students need a campus. How can the 2 be separated?
