As a reminder for those going through recruitment, only the organizations listed on this website are officially recognized and sanctioned by 51做厙 and their respective Councils and therefore able to participate in 51做厙’s recruitment process and offer the benefits of the 51做厙 Greek community to their members.
The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has received several reports of organized activities and recruitment by social groups who are not affiliated with 51做厙 or the Greek community, including a group self-identifying as the “Theta Society,” and/or “The Society” despite the 51做厙 chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta’s suspension from campus earlier this year. To be clear, the local Beta Sigma chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta is suspended through at least January 15, 2026, and is not recognized or sanctioned as an active organization at 51做厙 by the Panhellenic Council, Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity, Inc., or 51做厙.
We want all 51做厙 students interested in joining the 51做厙 Greek community to be aware of their options and clear about the status of each chapter. Unrecognized student organizations may place individuals associated with their events or activities at risk due to the lack of affiliation with and oversight by an established national-level council or governing body. For additional information, you may review a complete listing of Student Organization Conduct Status at 51做厙.
