Getting Rid of Unrecognized Chapters

[LPIDelta]

Actually, if they changed their letters and were closed by the national, the national organization will probably want nothing to do with them. I have no idea what money would have to do with this.

The school is private--is there something in the student code of conduct that would help you out? Sometimes private schools have policies against joining unrecognized campus organizations?

There are definitely some liability issues for your school if you do not confront this issue because if something happens, even the school no longer recognizes the org, someone's parents will be upset. Consult the school's legal counsel for advice.

Someone suggested making statements re: the two groups' statuses, and I think in your situation that may help. Perhaps something in the school paper.

Also, support the groups that you do recognize. Help them beef up their recruitment efforts and make it apparent that the groups that play nice are going to be rewarded.

I think (I'm very scared I might understand this) Tom is saying the national group might have the money to either 1) get them operating as a chapter in good standing again or 2) sue to make them cease and desist, but if they've changed letters, then the national really can't do anything about it.

God-damned unrecognized fraternities and their unsanctioned debauchery. Listening to their rock and roll cassettes and smoking thier marijuana cigarettes ...where's a good Nedermeyer when you need one?

I know at my school at the beginning of every new semester for awhile they sent out a letter to all incoming male students warning them of the unrecognized groups, what possible actions could be taken if they join the group, and a censored version of why the group is not recognized. Also, the letter explained that these groups can't participate in any of the sanctioned activity. It seemed to work as within a few years I haven't heard anything about the groups that had orginally went underground.
