D. Greek Student Organization Hearing Process

  1. When an allegation against an entire chapter occurs, unless precluded by allegation severity, preexisting sanctions, or recent findings of responsibility, the chapter president will meet with a Vice-President of Administration (VPA) from the Panhellenic Council or the Interfraternity Council and a representative from the Greek Life Office to discuss the allegations, resolution options and possible sanctions.

        a. If the chapter accepts responsibility for all allegations, and possible sanctions do not include Recognition Removal, the chapter will follow the outlined process in the Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council bylaws. Based on chapter history, including preexisting sanctions, a Greek Life Joint Judicial Board hearing may take place.
