Fraternities and sororities are expected to provide support and guidance to their membership for the enhancement of academic achievement, and are expected not to interfere with the ability of the individual student to pursue a successful collegiate matriculation. The Coordinator of Student Organizations and Greek Affairs will work with advisors, headquarters and chapter officers to insure high standards in academic achievement.

09.02 In such cases where the university determines that there is cause for a review of the recognition of a registered Greek organization, the registered Greek organization will be scheduled for a hearing with the Discipline Review Team (DRT), at which they may present any evidence which might justify their continued recognition by the university. Additionally, the Inter/National Headquarters and the Alumni Advisory Board will be notified of the review hearing.

a. Responses to, content of and scores in the previous three annual reviews.
