help for a local sorority

[mlsundy]

Hey my name is Michelle and I've been a sister in a local sorority at a small all girls college in Pennsylvania. Our sorority name is Tau Phi and I've been a sister for three years now and I'm in my senior year of college, and getting ready to enter my forth year as a sister. We have never really been recognized by the school until last year when we were awarded a couple times for our comunity service projects. There are also two other local sororities on campus and at the end of last year a "Greek Council" was formed to help regulate the sororites on campus. At first the council was helpful and informative, we had an advisor from the student affairs office, but now she is gone and the council has been regulating itself and also now been trying to put new limitations on our rushing, pledging and sisterhood. The president of our college is against the sororities all together and even though we're not supoorted at all by the school, she is giving the greek council guidelines to give to us. This pretty much forbids us to do any of our traditions with pledging in which no drinking or bodily harm was ever done to anyone. I am a pledge master and I have no clue what to do with these guidelines. I am asking for advice from anyone to somehow show documentation which states that we don't have to abide by these rules since we're not supported by the school or something that will help us to figure out how to go by the rules and still make pleding more than signing up and instantly becoming a sister. Please help a local greek out! Thank You
