The gentlemen of Nu Phi were recognized as a Fraternity by campus IFC council last fall. As the article suggests, rules were later changed that de-recognized them by the University and IFC, and now they are classified as a "club". The entire situation that happened with Nu Phi really gets my goat for various reasons, and pretty much nips in the bud any attempt by a group to start a local on campus without affiliating with an already extant National. For now. I get the point from the side of risk management, and keeping "founderitis" at bay, as well as heading off other potential issues.

In my opinion, recognizing an org, only to not recognize them the following year is rather screwy. :-/ Especially for the reasons that were out of the fraternity's control that led to it.

Sorry to say I think you are becoming a little too invested in Greek affairs to be healthy.

One of my best Friends is a member of Nu Phi. I was simply stating my opinion on the matter, which I certainly heard about often enough as it was going on. I don't consider that to be "too invested".

It's not just that. It's a cumulative thing. Someone told you in another thread that going to the places where Greeks on your campus are found is revisiting the scene of your disappointment and it won't help you move forward. I think coming to Greek chat is doing the same. Please understand that I am saying this out of love and concern. I don't think it's very good for your heart and soul and you should talk to someone about it.
