RESOLUTION ON FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES

The following resolution was adopted:

RESOLVED that the Board of Visitors supports the University's fraternities and sororities and recognizes the importance of their roles in the life of students;

RESOLVED that the Board of Visitors declines to involve itself in the setting of rush dates unless it is established at a future date that the delay of rush seriously prejudices the financial stability of fraternities or sororities;

RESOLVED that the Board of Visitors affirms the authority of the Administration to determine the start date of rush for first-year students;

RESOLVED FURTHER that the Board of Visitors directs the University administration to work with the fraternity and sorority leadership to promote the good health and strength of the fraternity and sorority systems and to report to the Board at its June meeting of steps taken to strengthen the fraternity and sorority systems.
