“See, I hear you say diversity, but what you mean is double-standard, right? This is how, in your world, cutting veterans benefits while increasing benefits to illegal aliens works. That’s right, isn’t it?”

A bunch of guys living in an off campus location might have some legal recourse, but get a charter and put letters over your front door and it's the equivalent of putting a bulls-eye on your front door. For example, in NY i can roll kegs into my house and throw a party till the cows come home. If a fraternity house has kegs in it, the school will probably suspend them. In addition, they are violating state laws (not to mention most likely invalidating their insurance policy).
Unfortunately too many fraternities live up to the stereotypes so it becomes harder to defend the good eggs.
