Greek Splinters Groups?

Would you all count Harvard as a splinter situation???

I know the AD Club, Fly Club, Phoenix Club, etc. all used to be fraternities before but when all the Greeks were kicked off, started their own organizations. At least, this is what I've heard from my dad who was Phoenix Club, so I have no clue if this is correct. Any experts know???

I agree with ladygreek. It's obvious though that the campus had a culture that promoted that kind of activism. You can also tell it's a very liberal culture since some gave up their charters because of God being included in the ritual of their national groups. I can't say I blame them...why pay dues to an organization that you don't agree with?

Greeks didn't get kicked off, those groups decided to quit their nationals. Harvard guys were just being snobs.

I know that Delta Tau Delta at Dartmouth broke off to become Bones Gate in 1960 because nationals wouldn't allow minority members. Things certainly were different then.
