Benefits of an FOA?
by: JIMRYAN
Comment from another post:
The answer is that there aren't any real benefits of having an FOA. The training sessions are purely a burden and a joke. The FSL and DOS offices don't promote IFC rush nearly as well as they could or should.
FIJI, KA, and KSig have all proven that houses without an FOA can operate reasonably well, the only drawback being that they're "kicked off" and some rushees get turned off. The administration has brought this upon themselves. Why should a house adhere to an FOA ban when the FOA doesn't provide any benefits in the first place? What are they losing out on?
Maybe the people running the FSL and DOS aren't that smart and act shortsightedly, or it's that they just don't like greek life all that much. That'd explain their behavior better.

This is what the school is hoping people won't realize.The FOA is a totally one-sided agreement and the school offers nothing. They can suspend or terminate an FOA at will and even retroactively to protect themselves from liability. The main reason why houses retain their FOA is because for many, either their land or their house is owned by the university which makes the relationship important. An independent IFC would only really make sense if enough houses disaffiliated, and for that reason this isn't really possible.
