We know of the policies and procedures. However, those policies and procedures do not make sense to us and any explanation recieved for them thusfar have been insignificant. The policies seem to have no root, no causation... at least no legitimate causation. Its like we are asking "Why?" and all we are getting in response is "Because." Would you be satisfied with such a lackluster reply?

Rules and regulations are meant to be challenged. If challenged (this case) and proven to be faulty or inadequate, rules and regulations are ammended. Historically, this is how it always has been. Why is this case any different? Shall we cement the current IFC bylaws in impenetrable stone??? I think not, we think not, Kappa Sigma thinks not.

not at fgcu. please understand, the ifc is abiding by the governance of the fgcu administration. greek life is on the campus at their discretion. it is a privilege to have greek life there-it is not a right.

Um that seems to be an IFC/University decision, not a random group of people who don't agree with it.

I don't know the details or how the original colonizers so badly offended the IFC & administration; however, I feel strongly that a group of students have the right to organize as a club or a fraternity if they so chose without the approval of either the IFC or the administration. Whether it was because they didn't like the groups already there or had a special attraction to Kappa Sigma I don't see why they need anybody but Kappa Sigma's approval. As a matter of fact, it was only in very recent years that these policies of first seeking IFC permission developed. The vast majority of older chapters of every fraternity and sorority organized as a group of friends that developed into a local group that ultimately sought out a national connection. I don't think the IFC can legally bar them from membership. I suspect the regulations say that the IFC is made up of all campus chapters and if they get their charter, they're in. While the Greek administrator may wish to exert much control over the process, he/she may find other students have a desire to make their own choices.
