Princeton to ban freshman affiliation with fraternities, sororities as of fall 2012

Yes, they can do this. It's a private school. When you enroll, you agree to follow the rules. (Lawyer type here.)

Since no penalty is stated, it sounds like this is just the same old same old with different language. I doubt it will have any effect on the GLOs that currently operate without campus approval.

This GC freakout happens every time Princeton or Dartmouth do something related to their Greek systems. They're Princeton and Dartmouth...they can do whatever they want and it's not going to hurt donations. Princeton will probably still be #1 in the Ivy League for alumni donations, officially recognized Greek system or none. :::yawn:::

Yeah, this is REALLY stupid. Why would you even bring it up without saying "if you join a GLO as a freshman, you will be expelled" or whatever.
