culpable for the misconduct. All members must be on notice that their misdeeds may result in the sanctioning of their student organization through the Greek Judicial Council. In addition to the group being held culpable, members and officers may be cited and held responsible as individuals for their roles. In summary, William Jewell College’s policy is that every student organization member has the duty to take all reasonable steps necessary to prevent infractions of college rules growing out of or related to the student organization’s life. This policy pertains, but is not limited to, incidents involving hazing, discrimination, vandalism, theft, alcohol, or substance abuse, dishonesty, disorderly conduct, violence, and misuse of organizational and/or College funds. Specific policies governing student behavior are listed in the Student Code of Conduct. Student organizations can be held responsible for the actions of individuals. This policy was recommended by the Greek Alumni Council on Due Process and adopted by William Jewell College on August 4, 1999. Student Organization Disciplinary Procedures The Greek Judicial Council (GJC) is solely responsible for the adjudication of Greek Organization policy violations. The Committee on Organizational Recognition (COR) is solely responsible for the adjudication of student organization policy violations separate from Greek related discipline. However, in the event that a Greek organization’s actions call for organizational recognition to be reviewed, the Committee on Organizational Recognition (COR) may call for a recognition review of organizational status in conjunction with the actions of the GJC. Details and documentation for these procedures are available upon request in the Office of Student Life. The Director of Student Activities will provide a copy of the procedures to the organizational leadership at the beginning of each term.

A model of superior residential facilities that promote community A premier system recognized nationally Fraternities and sororities are independently chartered social organizations recognized by William Jewell College as a viable part of the educational tradition. Guidelines for student affiliation with any Greek organization are established by the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils and are subject to administrative approval. Students living in Greek housing are subject to all residential policies. Students living in these areas are expected to adhere to all residential guidelines and the Standard of Conduct. First-Year students (students completing their first full year at the College) are not eligible to move into Greek housing until the fall of their sophomore year. If college regulations are not enforced and/or violations of policy are tacitly condoned, the Greek Judicial Council (GJC) may call for a disciplinary hearing and/or review of organizational status. The Board of Trustees gives Student Life administrators the responsibility to share any information related to alleged violations with the GJC. William Jewell College reserves the right to prohibit a student from living in Greek housing due to the student’s disciplinary history. The William Jewell College Greek system has set minimum academic standards for activation and continued membership. According to National Panhellenic guidelines, only full-time students with a minimum 2.50 grade point average (GPA) may become active members in sororities at William Jewell. All fraternity men must have a minimum GPA of 2.50 in order to become an active member. Additionally, all Greek system members (both men and women) must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 for continued membership. All Greek residents must maintain a 2.50 cumulative grade point average (GPA) and maintain full-time status with a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester. In accordance with national fraternity and sorority policy, William Jewell College prohibits any physical or mental harassment of students as part of pledging or initiation procedures for any student organization. All new member education programs must be outlined and provided to the Office of Student Life prior to the start of each academic year. In addition, all initiation week times and activities shall be registered with the Office of Student Life. (Refer to p.7 for the official college hazing policy.) Group social behavior where alcohol or illegal substances are present is a major concern, not only of the college staff, but also of the national officers of each fraternity and sorority. It is expected that Greek organizations adhere to all risk management guidelines; federal, state, and local laws; William Jewell College policies; and individual chapter policies outlined by the national/international headquarters. It is the responsibility of the officers of the organization and alumni advisors to ensure compliance. It is the responsibility of the Greek Judicial Council to respond to all alleged violations of college policy by Greek organizations. As previously outlined, the Committee on Organizational Recognition reserves the right, with cause, to review the standards and behavior of each organization at any point throughout the year. Reevaluation of recognition status and actions may be assessed upon this review. Page 37 of 37
