Only the chapters contained on this disk are recognized by the University of Delaware and have full privileges on campus.
Chapters that are not contained on this disk are not recognized by the University of Delaware. The University of Delaware does not advise nor control the actions of these groups. These non-recognized chapters may have a high number of hazing incidents throughout the initiation process. Many times the National Organizations of these non-recognized groups choose not to acknowledge the University's concerns or to take action against their former chapters.
In contrast to non-recognized groups, students who choose to become members of Greek-letter organizations will find many benefits from joining a recognized Fraternity or Sorority rather than one of these non-recognized groups, including but not limited to:
• Potential monetary awards to Fraternities and Sororities through the Chapter Assessment Program (CAP)
• Access to University buildings for meeting/event space
• Ability to receive Greek housing on and off campus
• Membership into a Greek community of over 1,700 students and over 30 chapters
• National/International membership access to alumni networks
• Promotion and community support of campus activities and philanthropic events through the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Panhellenic Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), and the Greek Council
• Positive leadership opportunities
• Formal career training and diversity training
• Structured community service and philanthropy projects
If you have questions about non-recognized organizations, please contact the Activities and Programs office immediately, by e-mailing [SC-AandP@udel.edu], or by calling (302)831-1296.
