Kids that join the unrecognized chapters are generally going to do so because the unrecognized chapter has some sort of advantage over the recognized ones. For example, on a dry campus, an unrecognized "wet" chapter is usually a force to be reckoned with.
Universities who have the remedy available ought to simply dispose of these unrecognized chapters by forbidding membership. It's a bit draconian, but I don't really trust that college freshmen are really equipped to weigh all of the relevant facts and make the right decision. Even if they were, going with an unrecognized chapter might be their "right decision."
I know some organizations (TKE, for example) have a lot of chapters which are not recognized by the national organization. That was the case at my school for a few years. I can only imagine their liability situation. What kind of case for punitive damages is made when an organization refuses to shut down a chapter which the university has withdrawn recognition for due to risk management or conduct issues?
