Establishing a New Fraternity/Sorority Nova Southeastern University reserves the sole right to determine if and when the campus is open for fraternity and sorority expansion based on institutional priorities and community needs. A new social fraternity or sorority seeking registration at Nova Southeastern University must complete the appropriate process as outlined in this document. No social fraternity or sorority shall be registered at Nova Southeastern University without following the processes listed in this document and without securing affiliation into an undergraduate governing council. Inter/national social fraternities and sororities may establish recognized chapters at Nova Southeastern University through two different processes: (1) Expansion: The inter/national organization and its headquarters staff submit information directly to the Fraternity and Sorority Life Office for the purposes of expansion. This process is led by headquarters staff and/or the volunteer officers of the organization and would involve an on-campus presence from headquarters staff and/or volunteer officers to execute the recruitment of interested students and for creating the initial foundation for the organization at Nova Southeastern University. (2) Petitioning: Interest in starting a new chapter of an inter/national organization is initiated by current students or local alumni/ae members of the inter/national organization. This process would be ultimately initiated and led by NSU students and the process of identifying interested students would be driven by the students on campus. In this scenario, petitioning groups must meet minimum standards, as defined in this document, prior to submitting information to the Fraternity and Sorority Life Office, for consideration from the appropriate undergraduate governing council. Requested Information for Establishing New Fraternity/Sorority In both the expansion and petitioning process, the following minimum information will need to be provided, in writing, by the applying organization: • Written request and support for a chapter provided by the inter/national organization. • Written documentation that confirms that the fraternity or sorority meets the definition of an inter/national organization, as defined in this document. • Plan for alumni/advisor support. • Colony intake/recruitment plan. • Colony support. • Colonization timeline.
