This comprehensive guide offers critical materials for Chapter Advisors to manage operations, essential policies and support services for Current Members, and important commitment and safety information for Families.
Advisors are essential partners in fraternity and sorority life. These resources support you in guiding your chapter.
Families play an important role in a student's fraternity and sorority experience. Fraternity and sorority membership offers leadership development, academic support, service opportunities, and a strong sense of belonging. Encourage your student to ask chapters questions about cost, time, and expectations before joining.
