No School Affiliation

Chapters do under the table bids like this all of the time.....it really isn't that out of the ordinary. I know of a decent amount of guys that go to St. Edwards down here in Austin that are in good fraternities at UT. Usually it only involved guys that are close to actives in the chapter though, really good friends or perhaps brothers.

If you're at a public school, the school can no more stop you from joining an off campus fraternity than they can stop you from attending a certain church, joining the Lion's Club, etc. As far as the purpose of the organization though -- I'd have to wonder. I guess you could exist apart from the school, but really, what would be the point? I really think that my organization is so intertwined with the workings of the school that the two are difficult to separate.

In response to the last two posters, how are they covered by the National?

Are they actual National members and if so how are they on the rolls of said GLO?

If they are not on National Rolls, then they are not actual members except by the local chapter. They are non existent in the National sense.

TKE did it on my campus for several years before they were re-recognized. I don't really know how their HQ handles this.

I don't really don't care how they go about it doing it. I don't think its a big deal.
