Amalia is using "underground" as saying "unrecognized but still operating in some form". This happens ALL THE TIME at Bloomsburg. Fraternities have been kicked off campus for years, and still exist, still pledge new members, and all that jazz. The only things they don't do are participate in campus events. Our NPC tried to pass a rule saying that no recognized fraternities or sororities would mix with the unrecognized groups, and guess what? The SORORITIES said no...not all of them, but many.
As for ASA operating unrecognized at SRU, it happens. Call ASA's HQs and tell them if you're so bothered. 33girl gave you the number. I know one school where there is no DPhiE chapter, but rumors have circulated for years that one exists. Without national/international recognition, these "unrecognized" groups are just clubs with greek letters that are the same as mine.
The only groups that I know that came after an unrecognized at Bloomsburg was Pi Kappa Phi and Acacia, when both were booted from campus and continued to use their letters. They sent them cease and desist letters, but not much else after that.
Amalia, my question is, why does it bother you so much? I ask that not sarcastically, but honestly.
