In terms of education for new members, many chapters require their new members to participate in alcohol programming through chapter-specific training or online modules such as GreekLife.

More widely, alcohol use is addressed through educational programs offered to chapters and individual members, often times through a partnership with Health Education and Prevention Services in the CSU Health Network.

Chapters are restricted from using chapter funds to purchase alcohol. Many chapters address sexual violence prevention through educational programs facilitated by their inter national headquarters staff and volunteers. Specifically at CSU, fraternity and sorority life works in partnership with the Women and Gender Advocacy Center WGAC to offer educational programming and academic courses that allow fraternity and sorority members to explore their role in addressing sexual violence.

Throughout the course students explore the complex systems that contribute to sexual violence in a unique fraternity and sorority context. Chapters and governing councils also offer educational programs. It depends. Joining a fraternity or sorority and the time associated with that decision varies greatly based on the chapter and council you decide to join and the type of involvement in the organization you seek.

Generally, there are required weekly chapter meetings and during the new member education period there are additional new member education meetings. Most chapters also offer a variety of additional opportunities in which a member can participate, including brotherhood or sisterhood events, academic success workshops, educational programming, social programming, and service and philanthropy opportunities.

Some chapters in the Multicultural Greek Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council host a celebratory event in which individuals who have become members of their organization present themselves to the community. Many chapters at CSU are having conversations with their inter national organizations about what transgender inclusion looks like at the campus level.

We encourage you to connect with organizations to process how affirming they feel for you. The office can connect with the chapter s on campus and the inter national organization s before you begin seeking out membership regarding policies and practices if it is helpful.

Our hope is you can search and join an organization on your terms in an organization that values you. Students at CSU may join fraternities and sororities in any year of their academic career.

Some organizations only consider members that have been in school for at least one semester. The best way to understand eligibility requirements is to contact the chapter. Fraternities are organizations plagued by racism, misogyny, homophobia, and hypermasculinity that put on a good enough front and maintain a wall of secrecy to continue without addressing these issues. Seeing and hearing what happens on a daily basis opened my eyes and made me realize that this was no different than most other fraternities.

It was easy to focus on the positive things when I was only around for the parties, brotherhood retreats, and community service events, but those were superficial. Day-to-day, away from the public, you realize the unchecked privilege enjoyed by a marginally diverse group of males there are nine non-white faces out of on our most recent composite fortunate enough to go to university and join a fraternity.

Second, you can get expelled from your fraternity. In essence, this will mean the fraternity has disassociated themselves from you, and then you will be free join another fraternity. This is often a long, typically arduous process, and there are no guarantees the fraternity you want to join will accept you.

What makes both of these options especially challenging is the timeline. You are only in college for four years typically. Brothers who decide to quit do so in years two or three. The problem now becomes that the brother will need the National HQ to expel them or grant them their release. Initially, the brother who quits has his fate left with the chapter to send up the information. Most chapters are terrible with paperwork, and may sit on the issue for a while. This will inevitably lead to lost time.

If the process takes several months, you could theoretically miss a year because of the rush schedule.
