POLICY
- Rowan University recognizes that fraternities and sororities can provide significant positive experiences for development of student morals, ethics, academic endeavors, volunteerism, and social enrichment. The Office of Greek Affairs at Rowan University can only grant recognition and consider those groups that are affiliated with a National or International organization.
- To ensure that the expansion of a new or returning Greek organization occurs in a manner that is consistent and conducive to the policies and mission statement of Rowan University, any group that wants to identify itself with Greek letters and whose mission is social, not academic and that wishes to be recognized as a fraternity or sorority, will need to follow this policy. Any group wishing to colonize on our campus will be provided with the opportunity for successful colonization through a process that is a meaningful and rewarding experience for our existing Greek community.
- If the request is denied at any stage in the process, the interest group will not be permitted to reapply for the remainder of that semester and one additional full semester from the initial request date. Each governing body/council will recognize no more than one interest group as a colony within the governing body/council at one time. Therefore, the governing body/council will not be allowed to expand further until the colony has become a chartered chapter or has disbanded.
- Following Approval for Colonization from the Office of Greek Affairs
- The interest group members, representatives from the National Organization, and/or local alumnae or alumni chapters will work with the Office of Greek Affairs regarding the fulfillment of the Colony/New Chapter requirements.
