No, it's not. The group has not been approved by the school, therefore why should it be allowed to use school facilities?

And also, reread LaneSig's post. You can't flip people off with one hand and expect them to shake the other.

What I'm not sure you realize (not an attack, just not sure), is that until recently the school has refused to even give them the application to become an RSO (you cant be approved if you arent allowed to apply). Every organization must be an RSO (even members of IFC are RSO's). They have been trying to do this since 2008; to at least be an RSO.

As for flipping off and asking for help... Yes, there was an early encouter which left a bad taste in the mouth of the administration (not the IFC, as the men were not permitted to meet with them). That happened in 2008; since that time those men are no longer members of Kappa Sigma and the remaining men have actually tried diligently to work with the school to overcome that feeling (sending them updates of their activities such as their philanthropic work, asking for meetings, trying to work with the school on a positive level). The administration continued their stance, regardless. Something we do hope and believe in time will be resolved.

I cringe whenever this thread is bumped, but this quote in just too much.

We have just regressed 70 years in the course of one blog. "Throw those idiots in the dorms and apartments, they aren't getting the nice school facility meeting rooms like we get!!" Real. Classy.

Comparing 30 or so students at FGCU who are having problems forming a fraternity, to millions of people who had to endure slavery, segregation and the lingering effects of these is frightening in its insensitivity.
