STATEMENT ON UNRECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONS
Being part of a fraternity or sorority can be one of the most rewarding experiences a student can have while at college. Unfortunately, there are some groups that are not affiliated with the university that utilize the enticement of this experience to recruit student members. We strongly discourage students from attending events or affiliating with any group that is not officially recognized by the university. Before joining any club or organization, please check the SRU CLUBS website to verify that the organization is officially recognized and operating with a university adviser.
We are aware of the following groups operating in the local area without university recognition or adviser support:
- Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority
- Alpha Chi Rho Fraternity
- Lambda Chi Alpha (or Lambda Chi Gentlemans Club) Fraternity
- Phi Delta Omega
All of these groups have lost their national and university recognition and are currently functioning without University support or oversight.
We encourage students to participate in recognized student organizations! Benefits of belonging to a recognized fraternity or sorority include: participation in positive leadership opportunities, scholarship and excellence award recognition, access to university facilities, organizational management training and experience, local, regional and national conference opportunities, community service and philanthropic projects, participation in activities such as Homecoming, All-Campus Alcohol-Free Mix-Off and Greek Week. One of the most beneficial aspects of membership in a national fraternity or sorority is the affiliation with an organization that has thousands of other members all across the country, providing students with excellent networking opportunities for future jobs in a host of different disciplines.
