Hazing is adverse to the culture, mission, and values of Case Western Reserve University. The university prohibits hazing, and the support thereof, by all persons as defined in this policy and applicable laws and investigates and responds to all reports of hazing. Students, student organizations, and other student groups, including other individuals associated with those organizations, are prohibited from hazing and failing to report hazing. Advisors acting in an official and professional capacity, or persons acting in an advisory role, are prohibited from permitting hazing and are required to timely report knowledge or suspicion of hazing activity.
The purpose of this policy is to maintain the safety and well-being of our community members while promoting healthy, safe, and secure environments, and being good stewards of the University's assets.
The governing bodies of the sororities and fraternities at CWRU create their own governing documents.
The Panhellenic Council (PHC) governs 10 sororities. The Interfraternity Congress (IFC) governs 15 fraternities. PHC and IFC have some joint governance responsibilities over their 25 sororities and fraternities.
The Black Greek Council is in the process of reestablishing.
