madmax: I am not making myself clear. The University has no legal grounds to withdraw recognition, 5-Star program or no, and the University absolutely doesn't have the legal right to forbid any student from joining 'unrecognized groups'. If they were to do so, then the student could sue the University and individual administrators for civil rights violations, and ask for punitive damages. Student organizations do have responsibilities, and we should take them seriously, but at a public University, they are not even allowed to keep a new fraternity or sorority from coming onto the campus. Any group that challenges such a restriction, from IFC or any other, will win.
I have no animosity toward my university or any other, but let me tell you this truth: the power of any administrator is magnified by the ingorance of the students and the laxness of alumni. They actually have relatively little power. Their strength is that they know you don't know that. There doesn't have to be a war between students and administrations, but the answer to bullying and little 'tin-God' mid-level administrators is to simply say 'No". You'd be amazed.
