That's the way it works. After WWII colleges wanted fraternities to provide housing for the wave of returning veterans and then the Boomers. Then, the '60s radicals retreated into our colleges and universities and rose through the ranks of administration. Today, they have contempt for fraternities and in many cases want their property. I used to think that having the right rules in place was the answer to protecting fraternities and their houses and rights. But it's not. The answer, unfortunately, lies in politics and political power. Almost every time Greek alumni have intelligently wielded political power they have been successful. Too bad organizing alumni groups has not been a first priority of many nationals over the last twenty years.
