Center for Student Life Fraternity and Sorority Life 60 Washington Square South, 7th Floor New York, NY 10012 Dear New Student of NYU, New York University recognizes the positive contributions that fraternities and sororities make to the University community. The fraternity and sorority community at New York University seeks to provide opportunities for students to serve the community, cultivate leadership skills, engage in campus life, encourage academic excellence, and support a diverse community. We believe all of these endeavors enhance the collegiate experience of undergraduates while also contributing positively to the New York University community as a whole. We strive to recognize organizations that live up to our standards of excellence. There are some organizations that fall short of these standards and they continue to operate without University recognition, oversight, or approval and are considered unrecognized chapters. That means the organizations were removed from campus for violating policy of recruitment and other behavior that potentially placed students at harm's way, and are not sanctioned to be operating at NYU. Unrecognized chapters are not permitted to use New York University's name or image, reserve University spaces, secure University group housing, or represent themselves as an official part of the University community. This situation concerns us because we do not have confidence that unrecognized chapters operate with the same diligence to promote student growth and development; provide proactive and preventative measures to foster wellness and safety; nor abide by University guidelines with regard to recruitment, new member education, academic support, and other areas vital to the successful management of a chapter. Additionally, unrecognized chapters operate in the absence of reasonable and prudent oversight by the Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) professional staff and therefore lack resources and support provided to other student organizations. Unrecognized chapters have been removed with just reason and after extensive investigation conducted by both the University offices and the respective groups’ National offices. New York University does not recognize and/or has temporary measures on the following organizations: Alpha Epsilon Pi (“AEPi”) Reason for removal from campus: Hazing, alcohol violations, violation of probationary terms Delta Kappa Epsilon Recruitment and social moratorium: the chapter is temporarily unable to bring in new membership or hold social functions Delta Phi Reason for removal from campus: Hazing, alcohol violations, physical harm Pi Kappa Alpha (“Pike”) Reason for removal from campus: Hazing, alcohol violations Phi Gamma Delta (“FIJI”) Reason for removal from campus: Hazing, alcohol violations Omega Phi Beta: Reason for removal from campus: Hazing Some of these groups may refer to themselves by alternative names. In addition, any chapters referring to themselves as “City-Wide” chapters are also unrecognized by NYU. The Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, Panhellenic Council, Center for Student Life, and New York University neither support nor condone the activities of these organizations, or other groups representing themselves as an organization that is not currently recognized by the institution. Any individual contemplating membership in one of these organizations should carefully consider this information. Only the following Greek-letter organizations are officially recognized at NYU for Fall 2019: Alpha Epsilon Phi Lambda Phi Epsilon alpha Kappa Delta Phi Lambda Chi Alpha Alpha Phi Alpha Nu Alpha Phi Alpha Sigma Tau Pi Beta Phi Delta Gamma Pi Delta Psi Delta Kappa Delta Sigma Gamma Rho Delta Lambda Phi Sigma Iota Alpha Delta Phi Epsilon Sigma Phi Epsilon Kappa Kappa Gamma Zeta Beta Tau Kappa Phi Lambda Zeta Psi Kappa Sigma Zeta Tau Alpha For additional information regarding On-campus organizations, please refer to our page on the official New York University website: (https://www.nyu.edu/students/getting-involved/clubs-and- organizations/greek-life.html) or contact David Gonzalez, the Assistant Director of New York University’s Fraternity and Sorority Life, or Royonah Marble, Program Administrator, Fraternity and Sorority Life.
