É«½ç°É

Statement of Relationship

Social Greek-lettered organizations at É«½ç°É have a long history of fostering student involvement and development. Greek organizations are founded under the principles of scholarship, community service, leadership, and friendship. The College acknowledges that fraternities and sororities can have a positive impact on the educational and social experiences of members and others in the campus community. For this to happen, there must be congruence between College goals and those of individual chapters.

By virtue of its function in granting recognition, É«½ç°É, through the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, reserves the right to review the extent to which each is acting in accordance with the expressed goals and objectives of the organization and the mission and strategic plan of the College.

The College understands the need to support the fraternity and sorority community to help the groups realize their full potential.  As such, the College will provide and support an Student Leadership, Involvement, and Community Engagement (SLICE) designee sufficient to advise, educate, and provide the administrative support necessary for the ongoing development and operation of the Greek community. This designee will provide support in the following ways:
