Social Co-Ed Fraternity looking to go National

Id say stick it to the school no one should be forced into changing who they are expecially if they are following the rules. Tell them you are already following national rules by being a member of IFC and you think its unfair that they are making you change because of the precived notion about greeks. Also I suggest you have prominant alumni write letters to the director of student activities and the president of your school asking to remain local. The school should take the alumni comments and concerns a little more seriously then undergrads.

You said you are a CO-Ed group? Is that both male and female?

If the Greek Adviser suggested NIC web site, then I take it you are all male.
True? If not, then they steered you wrong as NIC is male only.

Yeah, we're both male and female (I'm a chick).

So, here's my question: If NIC is male-only and Pan-hel is female-only, which national council can we at least turn to for support?

We're a member of Keene State College's IFC which is all-male... well, save for us.

Yeah, IFC and NIC are not quite the same thing. Though I wonder if the split off fraternity counsel (initals someone?) has the same male-only rules. I think you may be stuck there though since you have several years the idea of expanding and forming your own national HQ is a possibility.

Of course I would see that requiring some immense funds which Delta brothers and sisters seriously lack.

Yeah, KSC has pretty much signed our death-warrant and we all knew this as soon as we were informed.

I could see the idea of forming our own national HQ for co-ed organizations going really well, if we had some more involved alumns. Sadly the majority of us students are busy as all hell and even more broke. It's something that I had given thought of assisting Delta with once I'm out in the world working and have some money saved up, but at least for myself that's another 5 or 6 years (gotta get my MBA after graduation).

Well I'm not suggesting forming a council, but the biggest difficulty would be the legal stuff, incorporation, etc. If there's another national co-ed social fraternity, then think about a council...

Check out Alpha Delta Phi Society. It may be what you are looking for with regard to a co-ed GLO. http://www.adps.org/

There are national groups out there that aren't part of any national council. You want to find one of them.

And then the school laughs in their face and shuts them down. Really, not a good idea. You're playing David vs. Goliath...and in this case, I don't think David has a prayer.

I almost posted the same thing but held back. There's a quarter of a chance they could make a good case to the school, though not in the "screw you" fashion suggested above. But mostly, yeah... David's getting squished.
