Any organization is an individual organization. If none are allowed, then there are no organizations on campus. And if GLOs are not allowed on campus, how come there are national organizations with chapters at this school?

Sorry to not be clear. GLOs are not recognized by the university. It was like that for a bit at my uni too. Often we are given the "it's discriminatory" excuse. But because any student can belong to the fraternity and sorority awareness club, that club is allowed on campus.
Also, there's nothing saying that an individual student cannot belong to a GLO, so that's why there are KKG and Sigma Chis there.
For example, at my school, we had the Inter-fraternity and sorority council. Technically anyone could join, but usually only members of GLOs belonged. Any GLO that wanted to use a room on campus would have to go through the IFSC to book it for them - it got to be a huge hassle since having 5 groups booking as one made us look like we were using up a lot of the space. Fortunately our student government changed it's position, but there are still a lot of campuses out there that don't recognize GLOs on campus. (isn't U of Toronto like this too?)
Does that clear things up at all?
