It seems like the only reason they were dismissed as plaintiffs is because they're not active and not subject to Harvard's policies.

But the lawsuit hasn't been dismissed completely, which is a good sign.

I wholeheartedly disagree! The one and ONLY reason that Theta and Kappa are no longer active chapters is a direct result of the threats made by Harvard against the girls in the sorority chapters.

Accurate. However, looking at the big picture, this case will set a precedent, and the fact that it wasn't dismissed entirely is a positive step forward.

I think what she was trying to say is how can a chapter be a plaintiff if the chapter is no longer an active entity. Same as a deceased person can’t be a plaintiff. We know why the chapters were forced to close.
