Trinity College(CT) - All Greek Orgs Told to Go Co-ed

[TSteven]

Similar to the GLOs at Harvard or Princeton (one of the Ivy schools) and at Santa Clara (maybe one or two other schools), why couldn’t the GLOs simply not be “officially” recognized by Trinity yet continue to be recognized by their HQ?

This logically could happen, but (someone correct me if I'm wrong), not if they're coed

I agree. What I meant was that the chapters would remain single-sex GLOs and (perhaps with the exception of Delta Psi which is already co-ed) and no longer be officially recognized by the university. Yet the HQs would continue to recognize the chapters.

Gotcha--I misread and think that is probably the best route for all of them

I'm guessing that's what would happen for most of them.

That depends on whether the group's HQ thinks that the chapter/location is valuable enough to keep it running without any oversight by the school. I don't know about the fraternities, but I think for the most part, the sorority chapters at the schools TSteven mentioned have (knock wood) never had any real risk management problems. Which of course, makes what the school is trying to do look even stupider.
