Fraternity and Sorority Organizational Sanctions

Greek life is administered through the Office of Residence Life. Violations of the Student
Code of Conduct involving fraternities and sororities have been delegated to and are
administered by the Office of Residence Life according to the Student Disciplinary
Procedures and the Residence Life Judicial Handbook. Incidents that might involve the
sanction of probation, suspension, and/or expulsion will be reviewed by both the Office
of Residence Life and the Office of Student Life (see procedures below). Conduct issues
involving fraternities and sororities occurring either on or off campus will be directed to
the Coordinator of Greek Life. Cases may also be referred to the Greek Judicial Review
Board (in lieu of an administrative decision) at the discretion of the administrator
reviewing the case.

Fraternity/Sorority Conduct Organizational Sanctions
The following is a list of proposed sanctions and procedures to be utilized in addressing
any inappropriate conduct among fraternities or sororities.

SANCTIONS:

1. Letter of Warning: A letter of warning provides a warning to a group that the
conduct is in violation of published rules. Warnings often take the form of a letter
summarizing the infraction and corrective measure and warns the group about
possible future consequences should that behavior continue. The fact that the
group is admonished should be clearly stated in the body of the letter which they
receive. A copy of the letter is sent to the Senior Associate Director of Residence
Life where it is placed in a confidential disciplinary file.

2. Restitution: Restitution is reimbursement for damages to, destruction of, or
misappropriation of University property or of any person/group while on
University premises or University related premises. If restitution is the determined
sanction, the individual or individuals who impose the corrective measure must
specify, in writing, the amount due, the time and/or manner by which restitution is
to be made, and the individual, office or group to be reimbursed.

3. Educational Assignment: Educational assignments are tasks which are creatively
applied with the education of the violator in mind. It is essential that the
assignments imposed have some meaningful relationship to the violation.
Assignment of research to be done in a certain area is one of many creative
possibilities. A duty, work assignment, or alcohol education class are other
examples. Again, the aim of such a task is the education by the group regarding
their behavior and the consequences of such. Whoever imposes the sanction is
responsible for seeing that it is carried out. Failure to perform an educational
assignment may result in an additional sanction.

4. Loss of Privileges: Loss of privileges restricts organizational members from
designated privileges with a particular residence hall. The loss of privileges will
be for a specific time, as defined by the person imposing the sanction. The group
will be notified in writing of these privileges which will be forfeited and for what
period of time.

5. Building Probation: Building probation indicates to a fraternity or sorority that
their ability to continue residence as a group in Mountain View is now in
jeopardy. This sanction may be imposed due to serious on-going misconduct by
the chapter, failure to completely fill assigned spaces with members holding
contracts, inappropriate group behavior outside the residence hall or off-campus,
or a combination of any of the above. Building probation will exist for a specified
length of time and will be communicated in writing to the chapter president. A
letter will outline the reasons for this action, the expected response from the
chapter, and the time line for said response. Building probation may be initiated
by the Coordinator for Greek Life, Associate Director, or Director of Residence
Life.

6. Denial of Access: Denial of access to and/or use of all or part of a facility or
facilities again must be implemented for a specified period of time, as defined by
the individual(s) who impose the sanction. The group must be notified in writing
of those areas to which they will be denied use and for what period of time.

7. Suspension of Intramural Privileges: This sanction will prohibit a fraternity or
sorority from participation in University intramural sports activities or receiving
points for the same for a specified period of time. Suspension of intramural
privileges may be instituted by the Coordinator of Greek Life, Associate Director,
or Director of Residence Life.

8. Building Suspension: Building suspension is the formal notification to a
fraternity or sorority that their privilege to hold space in Mountain View hall is
being revoked. This sanction is in direct response to the chapter's failure to
completely fill their assigned spaces with members holding housing contracts, or
misconduct occurring on or off-campus. Suspension will be for a specified period
of time after which a chapter could petition for reconsideration on a space
available basis. Building suspension may be instituted by the Coordinator of
Greek Life, Associate Director, or Director of Residence Life.

9. Group/Chapter Probation: This sanction is the formal warning to the local
fraternity/sorority and their national office that their affiliation with the University
is in jeopardy. It outlines the specific behavioral concerns with the chapter,
references any incidents occurring on or off-campus which prompted this action,
sets forth the duration for the probationary status, specifies any limitations on the
chapter and outlines the required conditions which must be met to retain their
charter/affiliation with Northern Arizona University.

10. Group/Chapter Suspension: Group/Chapter suspension completely severs the
relationship with the University. As a suspended group you may not utilize
University facilities, you may not participate in activities as a group (i.e.,
Homecoming, Intramurals, etc.), you may not participate in recruitment, and are
removed from university publications, etc. A suspended group will be notified in
writing of the duration of their suspension and any steps required for future
reconsideration as a campus organization. The national office will be immediately
contacted by the Coordinator of Greek Life and copied on correspondence to the
Chapter. In some cases, the University will encourage the immediate revocation
of the Charter of the local chapter.

PROCEDURES:

1. The Greek Judicial Review Board will be involved in cases referred by the
Coordinator of Greek Life, which do not pose a concern for individual
confidentiality or the possibility of higher-level sanctions (University
probation/suspension).

2. Administrative-sanctions may be taken in addition to or in place of Greek Judicial
Review Board actions.

3. All "individual" (as opposed to "group") issues will be handled by the Student
Disciplinary Procedures and the Residence Life Judicial Handbook.

4. Issues potentially resulting in a decision of "Group/Chapter Probation" or
"Group/Chapter Suspension" will be heard jointly by the Office of Student Life
and the Office of Residence Life. A joint decision and letter will then be rendered
to the Chapter President. At the meeting the student/organization shall be
provided with the following:

o An explanation of the charges which have been made;
o A summary of the fact-finding investigation which has taken place;
o A reasonable opportunity for the student/organization to reflect upon and
respond on their behalf to the charges; and
o An explanation of the applicable disciplinary procedures, including the
student's/organization's right to request a hearing before a University
Hearing Board if a serious disciplinary sanction (suspension/revocation) is
imposed.

5.   Should further fact-finding be required, the results of any further investigation
will be presented to the student/organization and an additional opportunity to respond
will be provided.

6.   Copies of judicial letters will automatically be forwarded to Chapter Advisors and
National Advisors and National Offices of the fraternity or sorority sanctioned.
