I have heard Greek life administrators say that they prefer having the larger national organizations on their campus because the fraternity or sorority won't hesistate to get rid of their own chapter at the slightest problem.
If you have over a hundred plus chapters losing one isn't important to them.
Some of the smaller organizations will fight harder on their chapter's behalf and cause the administration headaches.
I have actually seen girls talked out of starting a chapter of one of the smaller groups in favor of a larger national for that reason.
Hrrm that could be a good expansion topic.

It's significant that SAE National is not suspending their chapter. In my opinion, SAE is the easily the weakest of all the major nationals when it comes to backing up their chapters when they're being unfairly bullied by administrators. If SAE National is standing strong, then the actions of the administration and the campus police must have been outrageously unfair, maybe illegal.
One school of thought holds that most administrators on that middle level have no idea that thay can't just do whatever they want and thet they can be held personally liable for damages to the organizations they bully. That thinking holds that chapters should be super-aggressive with their attorneys. But there's always a price to pay in any dispute with the university.
I wish the SAEs well, and I hope they draw blood (figuratively) with their response.
