Sidenote: I had NO idea that the quarter schools were ever planning to switch to semesters.

From what I understand, and this very well may be urban legend, but OSU's transition to semesters was the reason that Otterbein pushed for semesters. I think that has to do with the number of students that are cross enrolled at OSU and Columbus state.

Depends, generally as a student org they sign on to specific rules. I don't see a lot of HQs fighting universities on disciplinary issues. Not that it never happens, but far more often than not it seems HQ goes along with suspensions and other punishments along with adding their own.

It actually happens more often than you'd think. Especially where fraternities are concerned.
There are also things that groups might do that the school might find antithetical to its mission (and therefore discipline them for) that really aren't RM or other factors for a national. Also some schools do not want to go along with the NPC/NIC methods of rush and membership selection. I realize there's a lot of wiggle room, but even with that it can get to the point where it's a pain in the ass for chapters trying to explain their rush and why it just isn't like Ole Miss's.

I'm talking about the majority of cases unless there are actual numbers somewhere. I acknowledge it happens, I just contend that it is relatively rare.

I was referring in part to some of the religiously based colleges that I highly doubt will ever go national.

There were several quotes from Trustees at OSU saying that is they went to semesters they would be able to integrate better with other universities including credits and students so it very well could be. As far as I know Wright State and UC are also switching to semesters.

I've always wondered if there were more Ohio schools on quarters than semesters. It seems like the majority of the schools in the northern part of the state are semesters. Is there a list somewhere?

Doesn't say who is on quarters or semesters, but a list is a start (not gonna lie, I've never heard of Malone, Myers, or Walsh universities).
