Well known universities WITHOUT Greek life

However (These are specifically aimed at determining Georgetown and Harvard)
1) Do Professionals count toward the school having Greek Life? For ex: Kappa Kappa Psi, Tau Beta Sigma, Theta Tau?
2) Do the Service Greeks count: Alpha Phi Omega, Gamma Sigma Sigma?
3) Do GLOs which have chapters which accept members from a school count toward having a chapter there, So for example, does the fact that Omega Psi Phi Gamma chapter accepts student members from Harvard (as well as the following other Boston schools:BU, BC, MIT and a few others) mean that Harvard has greek life?
4) If the Student Liaison has a liaison to Fourteen different NIC/NPC/NPHC/Professional Fraternities but none are recognized by the school (See http://www.gustudentassociation.org/greek-life/ ) does that count?
5) And as for West Point, see http://www.aka-xichiomega.org/west-point which is about the Alpha Kappa Alpha chapter that includes the undergraduate members *at* West Point.

Yes, any of the National, traditional social Greeks, regardless of counsel, or service Greeks that have social events (APO, GSS)
1) not unless the professor groups events included social and philanthropy events on a national basis (not if it’s a few schools who host an annual formal)
3) no
4) curious as to what schools would have a liaison but no groups
5) probably not, unless the chapter actually functions like a chapter: meetings, recruitment, social events, philanthropy, reporting to national/international HQ

Okay, take Harvard off the initial list: https://college.harvard.edu/admissio...bt-going-greek

Georgetown does has Greek life: http://georgetownvoice.com/2015/08/0...at-georgetown/

What GLOs does Harvard have?

1) KKPsi and Tau Beta Sigma *especially* at the Historically Black Colleges and University act socially like the NPHC greeks (pledge lines, probate, stepping etc.)
4) I just described Georgetown (http://www.gustudentassociation.org/greek-life/ ). Alpha Phi Omega *is* recognized, and it has the Founding chapter of Delta Phi Omega Foreign Service Professional which is *housed*.
5) The chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha is a normal area chapter, just one that happens to include West Point and the sisters there. (The NPHC groups have been doing city chapters for a *long* time)
