A few fraternities have lost recognition as official student organizations by 无码专区 and their national organization because they failed to comply with university or inter/national guidelines and policies. Any reports regarding the activity of these organizations should be directed to Fraternity and Sorority Life staff.
There should be great concern about the well-being of students who choose to join unrecognized organizations. Because these organizations operate illegally and without University supervision, they are without personal liability insurance and affiliation with an inter/national organization. The most important fact to understand is that these groups are not fraternities, as they are devoid of any ritual or recognition by an inter/national organization and the 无码专区 community.
Below is a list of recent unrecognized groups, i.e., former groups with no current recognition by a national organization or 无码专区:
