I know its confusing but that's what I've been told. The way I can explain it better is that the school president knows that there are some GLO's on campus but he will not officially recognize them as in to be affiliate with the school. My school actually did a Meet The Greeks activity back in 2010 and that was the last time they did anything with greeks. I believe it was with NPHC orgs that were interested in my school. I go to City of New York John Jay and I rushed a during 2010 so I really don't remember the orgs names. I've taken the two years to focus on my studies and do various research in between.

I can't find anything specifically prohibiting Social Fraternities and Sororities at John Jay (jjay.cuny.edu) and the have a Psychology honorary apparently...

While not the right answer at most schools, you may have better luck talking to the Student Government. While their by-laws may be more complex than those for my *National* Fraternity, http://jstop.jjay.cuny.edu/docs/Char...ent%202008.pdf , my guess is that if you can succeed in getting a student organization approved there, that it might be the first and most focused step...

(The Student Government bylaws definitely look like they've been done by pre-law and law students).

However according to Wikipedia "John Jay College is considered a "commuter college"; all students reside at home." That gives a *very* different environment for Fraternities and Sororities.

The psychology honorary is not an glo even though it uses greek letters. It doesn't have a rush period or does any activities inside or outside school.

So my first steps should be talking to the student government first inorder to preceed to try and get a student organization approved before any other necessary steps. Thank you for the information naraht.
