I'm sorry for not being clearer: it didn't mean that you personally should be looking in the yearbook, just that sometimes that things that the university is presenting as matters of privacy, aren't. And I wasn't thinking of the listing of individual students, but the listing of members on the GLO pages, which I imagine most GLOs do participate in, but maybe not at your campus. The college yearbooks I've looked at list members. They may not have every member, but a girl being listed on a group's page would be reason for further review to see if she had been initiated.

I also wasn't thinking of strictly the very few students who try to join more than one group when I was commenting on the "what's in it for us" attitude; I was thinking about how ineffective that seemed to be as a leadership philosophy with Greek organizations. There's a lot that the Greek Life office really needs to handle that the only benefit to the university is the resolution or prevention of conflicts among the groups.

Other campus organizations deserve attention too, but I think it's rare that there are as many that feel they are in direct competition for members or status, etc. I suspect it's rare that they need as much supervision in terms of alcohol violations and housing issues.

It's rare, as far as I know, that as many other student orgs. have relatively powerful and wealthy national and international groups with lawyers.

Sure the cinema club may really hate sharing an office with the Objectivist society, but I'd be surprised if either were going to sue or get their alums to make a lot of noise with the fund raising folks.

The university, it would seem to me needs to handle the Greek groups well and pro-actively, so the junk doesn't blow up big.

I agree that the issue of girls joining twice isn't likely to be the think that causes the system to fall apart, but it's an area that might be important to the groups in which you've decided not to help them. In the long run, their believing that you aren't there to help them could be a big problem.
