Greek Life Conduct
Our policies are designed to promote the values of Greek organizations, and groups that do not meet those expectations and standards undermine the work and commitment of our other chapters. Our office continues to take a strong stance against the Student Code of Conduct violations and will continue to hold our Greek organization accountable for their actions.
As a means to increase transparency, we are publishing conduct updates about the Greek Life organizations at YCP. Information is reported on this website if a student organization is found accountable through the Student Conduct process, the Chapter Review process, and/or a National Headquarter investigation. For details on the Greek Life policies, please visit the YCP Student Handbook.

Statement on Unrecognized Organizations
Some organizations that were once recognized fraternities or sororities on campus may continue to operate underground despite having lost recognition from the College. These organizations have had their recognition revoked by the institution for various reasons, including things as hazing, alcohol and drug abuse, risk management violations, and failure to comply with the College policies and expectations. These organizations have in almost all cases also had their charter suspended by their international organization because they were not upholding fraternal values and were engaging in risky behaviors that endangered members and other students.
The following organizations have lost College recognition in the past five years:
- Alpha Delta Gamma (suspended indefinitely; charter removed by National Headquarter)
- Theta Phi Alpha, previously recognized as Omega Chi (suspended through spring 2019, charter suspended by National Headquarter)
- Alpha Chi Rho, previously recognized as Kappa Sigma Rho (suspended indefinitely; charter removed by National Headquarter)
- Alpha Sigma Tau (charter dissolved by National Headquarter through spring 2022)
Students are prohibited from affiliating with any organization or group that has had its College recognition withdrawn. By affiliation is meant joining, rushing, pledging, accepting an offer of membership; residing in facilities that are owned, rented, or controlled by the group; or being involved in activity that would normally be associated with being a member of the group.
Please contact the Greek Life adviser if you have any questions about whether or not the organization you want to join is recognized or if you would like more information.
