Local Recognition

It could as simple as they did not go through the proper channels for creating a recognized group. Most schools have guidelines (creation of a constitution, etc.) for clubs and organizations to organize themselves. Some groups form without going through these channels and are therefore unrecognized by university. If the fraternity was sued over a hazing or alcohol incident, the university would surely say thei weren't recognized to protect themselves. In college, the groups who were unrecognized were "underground". One was a local sorority who hazed and had alcohol at rush. One was a national fraternity who were on national probation from their organization and the unversity banned them for a year. Sort of dumb b/c they still took members and had something bad happened when they weren't recognized the university still would have been somewhat liable.
