Funny. Glad it looks like it may work.

No. You might have seen the footnote in the easylist documentation
(on p. 2) which says:
"You might not be happy with the symbols and maybe you'd like to use
another one, or simply have your favorite symbol
as default to avoid remembering such a cumbersome name as 'pilcrow'.
Here's a simple hack that does the job: select the
entire code of the package, and replace all occurrences of Ÿ (<<-- the
pilcrow) with your symbol. Make sure you won't use it in the list for
other purposes, though."
I've not tried this, however. It would be nice if there were a dead
easy way to get easylist and org-mode to work well together, since the
two are very natural partners. Let me know if you can make this work.

I've never actually gone all the way to making a document
easy-to-publish with Easylist. I've just manually converted
org-mode's stars to a character Easylist can understand, then manually
wrapped the whole thing in a LaTeX preamble. The ideal would be to
automate the process, perhaps by using org-babel and putting your
easylist sections in special code blocks. But I've not taken the time
to figure all that out.
Failing that, I bet you could do a halfway hack with minimal amount of
manual work. For example (if I understand you correctly), you could
make an org document like this:
* Regular org heading
** Subheading
** Here's a third-level heading
STARTLIST
**** My first thesis, which is longer and wordier than it probably should be.
***** Of course it's nothing compared to the length of its supporting arguments
***** Both of them
**** Here is my second thesis, as convincing as the first
ENDLIST
Org-mode will let you do all of that, just fine. Then either
manually, or with a temporary latex export hook, do something like
this:
replace STARTLIST with \begin{easylist} and ENDLIST with \end{easylist}
replace '**** ' with '& ' and '***** ' with '&& ' and ****** ' with '&&& ', etc.
If you do it in an export hook, I think you'd want to do it in one
that runs before everything else. That way org-mode will leave
everthing in your easylist environment alone. What that will do to
quotation marks and /emphasis/ I don't know.
This should leave you with an easylist which starts at level '1', in a
document which uses org's header levels 1-3 in the normal latex way.
Is that what you want?
Make sure in the preamble, you have \usepackage[ampersand]{easylist}
Let me know if you need help figuring any of this out in detail.
That's just a rough sketch.
Cheers,
Scot
