Hey guys, thanks for your input. I'd like to provide a little bit of clarification on my original statement.

USFSP is expanding every year, and just because we are mainly a commuter campus doesn't necessarily mean that we wouldn't be able to retain an interested group/party.

When I was referring to the "discrimination" - USFSP actually has a policy in place for the Office of Student Life and Engagement that basically stipulates that any organization is not permitted to start if it discriminates on gender, race, religion, ect. Being that Sororities and Fraternities open up membership to specific genders, greek organizations essentially violate USFSP's policy. However, I have been informed that there is a federal law that allows for collegiate organizations to form that are gender specific. I have been able to speak more with our administration and more and more are becoming in favor to opening up our campus to greek organizations, but it will take more than just the admins saying okay. We are in the process of compiling information about other universities in the area that are to the same scale as us (i.e. FAU, UCF, ect.) so we can further present out desire to bring greek organizations to the University.

Remember, nothing is impossible
