How would nationals recognize them without the university recognizing them??
Because it's worth it to them to have a chapter at Princeton/Harvard. They wouldn't necessarily make that kind of exception for West Hooterville U.

Princeton doesn't recognize fraternities because we have Eating Clubs on campus that serve a similar function, so the University sees frats and sororities as groups intended to haze.

our frat ran a philanthropy event last semester where we raised $6000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society, but we had to officially do it through the Hawaii Club, because we couldn't use the university property to host it unless it was a recognized club.

sort of dumb really

I know that. The previous poster's question was why the nationals would agree to sponsor an unrecognized chapter, not why the university doesn't recognize the chapters.

But while we're on the topic, the eating clubs are not the reason Princeton doesn't recognize its Greeks. The Princeton administration would love to get rid of the eating clubs, too. Harvard has exactly the same policy about Greeks that Princeton does, even though 99% of the kids eat in the dining halls.
