2. Educational Programming

organizations, based in the social and personal development of values. Encouraging community and
engagement through programming, Campus Life expects at least 30% of each fraternity and sorority
chapter to participate in one Campus Life sanctioned program each semester. Sanctioned program areas
may include topics such as risk management, recruitment, personal health and finance. A list of programs
will be available from the Office of Campus Life each semester and communicated regularly to chapter
presidents. Only programs approved by the Office of Campus Life will meet attendance requirements.

Each Greek organization with a chapter house must have a resident advisor (RA) whose appointment
is approved by the Office of Residence and Greek Life. Each chapter house must submit the name of the
person selected to be the RA to the Office of Residence and Greek Life for approval and must also notify the
Office of Residence and Greek Life if there is any change and/or absence of an RA. The RA must reside in
the chapter house at all times when the house is occupied.

function of both the faculty and resident advisors to encourage the scholastic, social and cultural growth of
fraternity and sorority members.
