Don't quote me, but I think it happened with the establishment of an NAACP chapter here at GW about 10-15 years ago.

My question is...if they don't have any Asian interest fraternities or sororities on campus and they want to put a hold on expansion, that clearly shows that it's not fair? Because there is no other option for interested members.

I did a little research...

From the AFA website, http://www.fraternityadvisors.org/Re...sociation.aspx

[Adopted October 2003]
[Replacing AFA Resolution on Expansion Within the Fraternity/Sorority Community 1999]

Whereas, colleges and universities have an opportunity to provide a positive and impactful learning environment for their students; and

Whereas, fraternities and sororities on these campuses can influence the overall satisfaction and retention of their members through meaningful experiences; and

Whereas, the American freedom to associate is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution; and

Whereas, this freedom is reaffirmed in exemptions from Title IX by the Education Amendments of 1972 as it applies to fraternal organizations; therefore

Resolved, that the Association of Fraternity Advisors supports the right of students to freely associate with or assemble into fraternities and sororities; and

Be it further resolved, that the Association of Fraternity Advisors also supports the right of colleges and universities to establish reasonable procedures for the official recognition of and provision of services to their student organizations.

Law Website, http://www.law.cornell.edu/anncon/se...rag8_user.html



Like, if AFA says it, it basically sets the tone for fraternal orgs.
