I didn't mean as a fraternity by IFC, I meant as an RSO that they were going on about in regards to room access and paperwork.

I'm not sure. I know they were working on getting it filled out; but not sure if it was submitted yet or not. They're in finals now; so would imagine it might be a few days (or potentially longer with summer) before anything changes on that level.

Rambler1869 is slightly wrong. The Fort Myers colony has officially become the Rho-Zeta Chapter, not the Rho Zeta Chapter.

I hope he is not a member of the chapter, because if he is he should at least know the correct way his own chapter designation is spelled in Kappa Sigma lingo.

Incidentally, on April 17th, Kappa Sigma also reinstalled its former powerhouse Gamma-Upsilon Chapter at Rutgers University, and installed another new chapter, Rho-Eta, at High Point University. Next to be installed is Rho-Theta, this weekend at the University of New Orleans.

Okay I'll bite.

If FGCU's greek life is such a joke why even come here?

You are dead wrong. All North American Fraternities have a united interest in equal protection of the laws and in protecting our rights as single gender organizations. Fraternities have been litigating First Amendment issues for the past 50 years, and thanks to Title 9 and United States Supreme Court case law, we are recognized as "expressive associations" entitled to complete First Amendment protection despite our single gender status. For this reason, when it comes to protecting our classification, all fraternities support each other in free expansion issues. Freedom of association issues are intertwined with freedom of expansion issues, and when we blur the lines like the undergrads in IFC have done at FGCU, we weaken our position and open ourselves up for attack from those who would challenge fraternities and sororities as discriminatory organizations. On public universities, we have to stand and fight together to support open expansion. I could give you a lengthier explanation, but hopefully you get it.

As such, in the NIC constitution, each member fraternity swears to uphold and support free expansion. Try to be educated, not just opinionated. Kappa Sigma contacted every single executive office of the fraternities on FGCU's campus, asking for their support. We have letters and emails from every single fraternity supporting our petition to join IFC at FGCU. Sigma Chi is the only fraternity that doesn't require their Chapters to vote in a certain way, but they openly support us and encourage their chapters to vote accordingly. All of the other fraternities have instructed their chapters at FGCU to vote in favor of Kappa Sigma joining IFC. Apparently they didn't get the message.

So, this IS how it works. Should I repeat myself? We are all on the same team here in fighting for Greek organizations rights to equal protection of the laws, pursuant to the 14th Amendment, and for the right to freely associate, pursuant to the First Amendment. Once on campus, we should compete against each other in a fraternal manner. But as far as fighting for our rights at public universities, we are all in this together. Kappa Sigma is the first chapter to always vote in favor of recognizing any fraternity that wants to come onto any campus. We instruct our chapters to vote that way, and we do it for a reason. This support is reciprocal. It does work this way.

Um Kappa Sigma isn't even NIC anymore isn't it?

I went back to your 1st post and realized that I somehow skipped the part where you told me to be educated and not opinionated. Again, let me point out the last part of NIC's Expansion Resolution: *Request approval of the appropriate college or university official before granting colony status."

I suggest that before you tell someone else to "try to be educated", you educate yourself on the policies of an organization whose members you are trying to convince to support you.

I'm so glad you are the representation of the fraternity that wants to come on my campus. This defiantly makes me want to support you. Please, come and help us poor small brained sorority women at this campus. I don't know how any of us have been functioning for the past seven years without you.

So what is the sororities' take on all this, near as you can tell?

that there are rules and procedures that apply to everyone/every organization, and those rules and procedures should be followed , that KSigAdvisor has not furthered his cause nor his case and that he has been extremely insulting and derogatory to many gc members and has been especially insensitive toward women.
