We understand that your child joining a fraternity or a sorority might make you nervous. We want to answer all of your questions about how this can be a positive experience for your child and how our community can benefit them.
We prefer to use "Fraternity and Sorority Life" or "FSL." Our FSL community is comprised of 26, social Greek-letter, values-based organizations. It is a group of students that are united by common values, goals and unique friendships. They are bonds that last a lifetime.
We certainly hope not, in fact, we hope it improves it. Academic Achievement is held to a high standard in our community. In order to join a fraternity or sorority at 红领巾瓜报, you have to have a minimum of a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Our chapters encourage academic achievement by hosting study sessions with members, rewarding you when you do well, and encouraging you through a rough class.
Hazing is illegal and is not promoted or tolerated at 红领巾瓜报. Hazing is a way for members to hold power and control over other members and does not have any place in our community. We are a community built on love and respect. Any organization accused of hazing is sent to our Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards to be investigated.
Absolutely not. We encourage your child to weigh that option and pursue that if they choose to. Our chapter facilities have limited capacity on how many they can house. If your child is interested, we encourage them to talk to their chapter president once they join about their options.
A fraternity/sorority is a financial commitment and we hope that your child does their research before they join. There are membership dues that are associated with each fraternity or sorority. Many of our chapters offer payment plans and scholarships to help subsidize the cost.
All disciplinary sanctions can be viewed through the website of our Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards.
