If you're at a private school, your mileage may vary. Some are hell bent on not having Greek Life--and if that's the school you're at, there's not much to be done.
Good luck to ya.

In his original posting, the author said "...there is nothing against greek life in the handbook."
Most large schools that don't have Greek Life at least explain that it isn't allowed, which is why I think it might be smaller...
To Original Poster.
One other thing to look for in the Student Handbook is that there might be rules on the openness of Student Organizations which would de facto affect this, either (my emphasis)
A) Student Organizations may not discriminate by race, *gender*, national origin, etc...
or
B) Admission to all student organizations must be on *Objective* Criteria
or
C) Student Organizations must be open to any student willing to *pay dues*.
With A) Co-ed Fraternities would be allowed (which includes a few in the NIC) as well as the Service and Professional Greeks and Honoraries
With B) the Service Greeks *might* be possible, not sure on the Professional Greeks, but Honoraries would be allowed.
With C) you wouldn't even be able to have Honor Societies...
