Statement of Relationship
The Statement of Relationship between the University of Rochester and its affiliated Greek-lettered organizations reaffirms the University's commitment to a strong and viable fraternity and sorority system as a living option for it students. It also recognizes that a fundamental premise for the existence and sustenance of a strong fraternity and sorority system is the cooperative relationship between the University, the Greek-lettered organizations, local alumni advisors, and the national and international Greek-lettered organizations. It is the intent of this document, therefore, to define and clarify the mutual expectations, rights, and responsibilities of all participants in this vital partnership.
Procedures for Recognition of Fraternities and Sororities
As The College advances and adapts to the changing needs of students, so too must the fraternity and sorority system. In efforts to provide a fair and accurate review of new groups, as well as ensure the proper support for existing groups as outlined in the Statement of Relationship, the following procedures for recognition of fraternities and sororities will be applied in the event of expansion. The University of Rochester reserves the right to implement a moratorium on expansion or re-colonization at any time. This policy will serve as a guideline for all groups with the intent to establish a new Greek-lettered organization at the University of Rochester.
