Fraternity and Sorority Status Reports
Conduct Status Definitions
Good Standing
Any fraternity or sorority has met all deadlines, completed all requirements, and is free from misconduct. Fraternities and sororities in Good Standing are given all rights and privileges afforded them in this Relationship Agreement, and the Student Code of Conduct.
Probation
Any fraternity or sorority that has repeatedly failed to meet deadlines, complete requirements or has been found responsible for organizational misconduct will be placed on Probation. The Student Governing Body adjudicating the alleged violations shall outline the specific terms of Probation shall last no less 12-weeks and no more than one full year. The 12-week period shall not include any semester breaks or summer semester.
Suspension of Recognition
A suspended fraternity or sorority shall lose all rights and privileges afforded them in this Relationship Agreement, and the Student Code of Conduct. Suspension of Recognition means the fraternity or sorority cannot participate in any University function as a group. For all intents and purposes, a fraternity or sorority does not exist in the USU community during the term of their Suspension.
Loss of Recognition
For all intents and purposes, a fraternity or sorority who loses recognition does not exist at USU. If a Student Governing Body determines a Loss of Recognition is warranted, they will work with the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs to determine the length of time it will be in effect. At a minimum, Loss of Recognition shall last two years.
