unrecognized chapters/groups

The Student Organization Handbook and the USF Student Code of Conduct defines a student organization as a group of currently enrolled University of South Florida students who unite to promote a common interest, who are recognized by the university as a registered student organization. USF requires all fraternities and sororities to be affiliated with a governing council under the umbrella of Fraternity and Sorority Life within the Center for Student Involvement as well as requiring a larger, inter/nationally-based organization who provides additional supervision, guidance, and programming on a wide variety of topics.

Please note: students affiliating with an unregistered student organization, including fraternities and sororities not recognized by Fraternity and Sorority Life/USF, may be held individually responsible for actions stemming from membership in the organization through the USF Student Code of Conduct. Students who join organizations who have no affiliation with the University and/or inter/national organization(s) are not provided liability insurance or direct advisor support and are more likely to fall victim to academic, judicial, legal, or other problems while involved.

Unauthorized expansion/extension activities, such as "campus crashing", "ghost lines," recruiting or soliciting membership, pre-initiation activities, pledging, educating and/or initiating USF students without having approved recognition through Fraternity and Sorority Life will not be allowed. Some organizations may portray themselves as registered student organizations. Additionally, any potential chapter (otherwise known as an entity) and/or chapter operating at USF must be working toward or have a charter which designates itself as a chapter at USF. City-wide/metro chapters are not permitted at USF.

Please note that the following fraternities and sororities are not considered registered student organizations at this time and have no current affiliation with USF:

• Beta Chi Theta
• Chi Phi
• Chi Phi Sigma
• Delta Chi
• Lambda Chi Alpha
• Sigma Sigma Rho
• SigEx
• Verdandi
