Underground Sororities

[xdz0830]

I am currently attending a largescale university, where the Greek Life is present, however dwindling. We were going strong with many different chapters on campus, and although there was competition amongst us- we were actually a well working, very connected greek system. However, from the time second semester started until now, 4 or 5 houses have been shutdown for what come of as legitimate reasons, but don't really add up- my chapter included. In my particular case, we had just been signed off for our sanctions (as we were on probation), and a new exec board was coming into office- we were all set and ready to make sure we were in good standing for the remainder of our time before we graduated, and then pass on the duty. We even had our CCD and regional coordinators blessings and signatures. Come 2nd semester, we were kept in the dark as our headquarters attempted to evict us in 48 hours, strip us of our letters, and shutdown our chapter permanently- as well as make up very false and hurtful rumors- and yes, it was from our NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS. Still to this day we are unsure of what happened, however- we are no longer recognized by our school. What I don't understand most is, if we had done something so wrong and could not operate on campus... why were all of us granted Alumni status?

We as a sisterhood, along with many other members of the greek system feel very cheated and I am afraid that many want to take the matter into their own hands by running underground. As a member of what would have been our exec board, a lot of girls ask me the dangers of running underground. Can anyone please shed some light on underground greek systems, and what legal action, if any, the university can take against us?
