I agree that it would be included in the universe of those schools picked
from. But often a school policy of no fraternities can be bent the right
way. Just because they won't allow ZBT, we still have a chance if the
rules are written right and the right people at talked to at Student
Affairs. Two of the 9 active chapters in section 84 (Georgetown & Loyola
College) have a no fraternities policy, but we have chapters there (no
bets though on Georgetown being willing to let a group like APO on there
now).
North Central Collge has two national honor societies: Beta Beta Beta and
Psi Chi both of which date back decades, so they did allow greek letter
organizations of some type. I'd try to get a hold of thestudent regs and
find the most sympathetic ear in the student activities office. :)
