Greek Standards?

[UNLDelt]

Something to be concerned about in this situation (and I admit that I do not know ALL of the details) but there is a right to free association that public institutions cannot infringe upon. It's been discussed in another thread and from what understand a public institution such as a state univerity or college cannot set certain standards on one organization of students that it does not on others.

So if the _____ club doesn't have to have a 3.00GPA to be recognized by the school, then XYZ Fraternity or Sorority shouldn't have to either. They need to recognize all student organizations by the same standards.

Now we all know that as GLO's we institute our own standards for recognition...and that's ok...b/c they are self imposed and agreed upon through our processes of decision making as organizations.
And if IFC or Panhell institutes their own standards for recognition, then that's also ok b/c it's the student's themselves, and therefore the representation of the chapters, within one umbrella organization (IFC Panhell) all agreeing to abide by certain standards and place them on themselves. There's nothing wrong with that...it's democratically decided.

Student athletes are a different issue b/c that's sponsored by the school.

But when you get down to it, it all depends on where the regulation comes from and who it is applied to...
Does it come from the administration of the university and is it applied evenly across the board to student orgs? Or are Greeks being discriminated against within the system by making their recognition harder to obtain and to keep?

Or is it 'in house' by greeks holding other greeks to higher standards?

It's easy to show the wrong done here if you create a 'slippery slope' argument...would the school impose higher standards for recognition to a student group organized around a certain religious faith...or race...or sexuality? No way...they would smell the lawsuit from miles away! So how can the do this to student groups who chose to be organized around the greek system tradition? They can't.
