I don't even necessarily see an issue with the school requiring the students to live on campus, and in turn, not live in the fraternity houses. If all other students are required to live on campus, then it makes sense that fraternity members should too.
However...
What the heck is this ish?!
Quote:
The houses are rented or owned by the individual fraternity chapters — not the university — but the school will no longer allow students to live in them or use them for official event space.
......
Spokesperson Clinton Colmenares said the primary goal of the policy change is to have all students living on campus, but it is also part of larger policy changes the school is implementing in its strategic plan for Greek life.
The changes include:
- Shortening new member education periods to six weeks
- Changing sorority and fraternity accreditation to include leadership development and career engagement
- Requiring the Fraternity and Sorority Life Office to do more to connect sophomore members with career competencies
.....
The new policy means Greek organizations are also unable to host events at fraternity houses and will need to use on-campus or third-party venues.

So instead of simply requiring fraternity members to live on campus like all other students, the school took it another step further and is putting additional requirements on all fraternity and sorority members, limiting their ability to freely associate, and shortening new member periods over which it has no control?
