Rowan has also posted this notice:

"We would like to advise all students and parents/guardians that there are groups of University students that are not recognized by the University. For your own well-being, we discourage you from attending their events and from affiliating with these organizations."

The notice is near the bottom of this page on Rowan's site:

http://www.rowan.edu/clubs/greeklife...howtojoin.html

The list of groups includes the names of -- or names identical to -- two NPC organizations. The organizations are NOT listed as members of Rowan's Panhellenic.

Are these chapters of Delta Zeta and Phi Sigma Sigma recognized by their HQs? Does anyone know why the 5 NPCs on campus are recognized but the other 2 are now?

The Phi Sigma Sigma website lists Rowan as an active chapter. The Delta Zeta website does not list Rowan. Any more than that, I do not know...

Some groups do keep chapters open even if the school derecognizes them - especially if the derecognition is for bogus reasons. The school may put their own negative "spin" on it but whether the national HQ still recognizes them is another matter altogether. Being unrecognized by the school does not necessarily mean a group is operating with no oversight whatsoever.

This may not be the case here, but I just wanted to point out it does happen.

I found this regarding the DZ chapter at Rowan. Looks like DZ had some hazing and disciplinary offenses. Their chapter website hasn't been updated since 2005.

Yes, my top-secret NPC source confirmed that the DZ chapter isn't just unrecognized, it is indeed closed at Rowan.

I <3 exlurker. To be totally honest, I dread 2 parts of this list - California and the Northeast (mainly NJ and NY). So thanks for giving me all those CA dates!!!

Were the two groups still recruiting on campus and that's why the website had that notice up?
