Funny, but two hundred years ago the same thing was happening as well.....many colleges tried desperately to get rid of the fraternities and "secret societies" for the admins feared they would overrun the schools and become more powerful than they could control. Eventually as history will tell, things worked out well for many organizations and many of them survived, albeit many were "sub-rosa" but they survived, became strong organizations with lots of $$ from alumni filtering back into the schools and organizations......
The way things are going on campuses, it may be coming back full circle and many organza ions will continue to exist, but just become super secretive......which will enrage society even more as we know, outsiders don't like secrets.....
The biggest thing that will end any schools attack on the organizations and their "rights to associate" will be the alumni and their $$$.
