CHCS Student Handbook 2019-2020

22 Nova Southeastern University Student Handbook The right of a student organization, including a fraternity or a sorority, to exist at the university may be revoked by the university at any time. The policies and procedures for establishing a new fraternity or sorority on campus can be obtained by contacting the Office of Campus Life and Student Engagement, which grants approval for the establishment of all fraternal organizations on campus. Additional information regarding the policies for Greek organizations is available through the Fraternity & Sorority Life Manual . Sororities and Fraternities may also be governed by a governing council—the Panhellenic Council (PC), the Interfraternity Council (IFC), or Unified Greek Council (UG). The policies, governing constitutions, bylaws, rules, and regulations of these councils shall not conflict with the rules and policies of Nova Southeastern University. Nova Southeastern University rules and regulations supersede any conflicting rules or regulations. The Office of Student Conduct shall conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether a case involving any student organization, including fraternities or sororities, will result in charges of violation(s) of the Code of Student Conduct and whether those charges will be seen through either a judicial conference or a judicial hearing. See Section D—Disciplinary Procedures—for details on how these cases will be adjudicated. Any organization determined to be responsible for violating the Code of Student Conduct will be sanctioned in accordance with the violation. Sanctions imposed as a result of a fraternity or sorority student-run disciplinary panel must be consistent with the purpose of the applicable governing constitution and bylaws of the organization as well as Nova Southeastern University. Student organizations may appeal any disciplinary sanction imposed upon them. Procedures for an appeal can be found in the Disciplinary Procedures (D) section of this handbook.
