Private schools LIVE off of Alum Donations. The pretty flyers and brochures the University produces to send to alums for money is outrageous.
Get together with the other chapters - GREEK UNITY - and work on a mailing campaign to your alums explaining what's happening. Ask them to discontiue their donations until the administration sees the value of Greek Life. Look at the University's Board of Trustees - are there any Greeks on there? CONTACT THEM! Are there faculty and staff that are alums - find out what's REALLY behind this.
Then I have another idea. When you have your meeting with the other organizations - plan a HUGE philanthropy. Show the University the good that Greeks can do. Pick a charity near and dear to the University President's heart. (How do you do that? FInd someone that can chat with his/her secretary and and ask her what charity the President supports most.)
Feel free to ask anyone here at GC about popular Phils. I'm sure someone has a great one that will net that charity some bucks.
GOOD LUCK

I dont like the idea of doing a huge philanthropy that might benefit someone that is trying to screw you over in the first place. These groups probably have been doing philanthropy all along and in return the school wants to get rid of them. Instead of philanthropy I think all the greeks should have a fundraiser and put the money towards a lawyer.
