I want to go for it and try to push this really far and we're trying to get the fraternity behind us too. It's just not looking good and it makes me angry that our school is the only one in the state that doesn't offer Greek Life (out of the public schools.) We keep getting the phrase "it's not our image." Apparently our image consists of an 85% retention rate and 60% of the campus going home on weekends...
If it happens every year there is interest. I'd suggest getting as many interested students as possible and saying "we pay to come here and this is what we want as part of our undergraduate experience. If you can't provide it, prepare for an influx of transferring (or something less dramatic)."
What your university needs is a a revamp of its supposed image. Get the word out, use the school newspaper, provide contact information, detail what has happened in the past and explain what you're trying to do.

(I visit here occasionally, but still infrequently enough that I miss a lot of information. )
One local copied Sigma Kappa exactly at one point. Then a member got really defensive because us real sigkaps got mad. That was pretty awesome. I mean, I know we're amazing but come on, originality!
