oh and Sig Pi isn't largest on campus anymore, TKE is the largest and I think we're second largest.

We can't handle lossing another fraternity but I can see the university pulling organizational recognition. With the current greek life status at Clarion I don't see a successful underground chapter functioning. It's hard enough with recognition.

My point was that as they do not recognize ANY off campus GLO housing - how can they "investigate" it? I'm not sure who owns those houses, but I would think he as a landlord would not be happy about having his property which is in no way affiliated with the university scrutinized, investigated or infiltrated by the university. They can discipline students if it's found they've done something criminal (like drinking underage) but they cannot police an off campus living situation. Simply because the house has fraternity members in it does not mean the school can have a greater degree of oversight than they would at say University Apartments. I also don't think being a RSO has a thing to do with it. If they busted a party where the majority of attendees were members of (example) the newspaper staff, I doubt very much the newspaper's recognition would be pulled.
Considering TKE ran underground for all those years and they weren't even...how shall I say...that far up on the totem pole, I honestly don't think Sig Pi would have any trouble doing it, especially since they've done something that most students really don't consider morally wrong (as opposed to hazing or the like).
