November 13th, 2018 Dear Bentley University Community, As Presidents of recognized Greek Organizations at Bentley University, we would like to address our concerns about the Kappa Pi Alpha (KPA) “Fraternity”, an unrecognized social group on campus. Our organizations strongly believe in the values of community, integrity, and leadership. Because of these values, we do not support KPA or any other unrecognized group on campus. This organization has no affiliation with or supervision by the University, does not follow the standards set for recognized groups (including new member education policies), and does not give the University the names of their members. A student who joins an unrecognized group and pays dues to that group will not be a recognized member of Greek Life while a student at Bentley, nor will they have any of the alumni privileges that go with membership after they graduate. By contrast, members of recognized organizations enjoy the benefits of positive community involvement. More importantly, recognized organizations participate in programs that educate their members on the risks of physical and emotional hazing, Title IX issues, and other risk management issues. KPA does not participate in these programs. If you are interested in joining Greek life on campus, we encourage you to join one of the recognized chapters listed at the end of this letter. More information about our Greek community is available on the Bentley Website. If you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to contact Student Programs & Engagement at (781) 891-2700 or [email protected]. Sincerely, The Fraternity & Sorority Life Presidents Council The Presidents of Bentley’s Fraternities: The Presidents of Bentley’s Sororities: ● Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) ● Alpha Phi (A Phi) ● Alpha Gamma Pi (AGP) ● Kappa Delta (KD) ● Alpha Sigma Phi (Alpha Sig/ASP) ● Gamma Phi Beta (Gamma Phi) ● Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE) ● Phi Sigma Sigma (Phi Sig) ● Kappa Sigma (Kappa Sig) The Presidents of Bentley’s Greek Councils: ● Sigma Chi (Sig Chi) ● InterFraternity Council (IFC) ● Sigma Gamma Delta (SGD) ● Panhellenic Council (Pan-hell) ● Sigma Pi (Sig Pi) ● Greek Activities Council (GAC) .
