A charter is a document authorizing a group to operate, to use the chartering groups name, etc. Northeastern University, for instance, issues a charter allowing ADPhi to use the university's name and facilities, etc.

That is what I mean by recognition by the university.

In your scenario, a chapter, colony or interest group of Alpha Delta Phi already existed. They existed because Alpha Delta Phi HQ granted the group a Charter (document) establishing it as an Alpha Delta Phi chapter, colony or interest group - not Northeastern University. Once this group was associated with Alpha Delta Phi (as either a chapter, colony or interest group) it requested the necessary documents (perhaps called a charter by the administration) from the university which would allowed this group (chapter, colony or interest group of Alpha Delta Phi) to use the university's name, facilities, etc.

I agree with you and most greeks customarily use the term "charter" to denote GLO recognition and "recognition" to denote School recognition, but not all.

Is there a GLO that does not use "charter" to denote GLO recognition (or more accurately, a GLO's organization of and grant of power to a chapter)? Just curious.
