While I see the argument I see some holes in the logic behind it, Mainly the fact that I don't believe Depauw made the decision to not allow DZ on campus was based PURELY on the fact that these ladies were given alumnae status. Second if it was true that no University has say over *Any* internal operations of a chapter is crazy because orgs are bound by University housing rules, student organization standards, and academic standards. There is a close tie between GLO and University that can not be denied, especially if the University owns the land the GLO is housing its members in.
I don't see why DZ wants to be back on campus.. if they thought they had a numbers problem before... I'm sure it's not going to improve the situation to come back after this mess....IF they do win and the chapter is allowed back on campus, I'm pretty sure they'll be rewarded with a rush party with the gentle sound of crickets in the background.
