My campus has lost 5 fraternities of 12 in the last 2 years (3 hazing and 2 numbers). One fraternity president was not enrolled in school last semester....Yes, if the university does not recognize fraternities they still have a brotherhood. BUT student organizations are made up of students and students need a campus. How can the 2 be separated?

They can operate underground. They just can't hold meetings in university buildings, advertise on uni property or participate in uni-sponsored events. They hold rush events through word of mouth, rather than overtly advertising them.
Like I said, it depends on how much of your fraternity life takes place on the actual campus. If no one has on-campus houses, it makes it much easier for undergrounds to exist and operate like other fraternities do. They just have a house off campus like everyone else. If the land is zoned for it, the landlords don't give a crap if the uni recognizes you or not.
Some schools have made rules that students cannot participate in non-university sponsored fraternities, but if challenged it would not hold up in court.
