Parents and Families

Joining a fraternity and sorority is an exciting part of an undergraduate experience. We understand that any new commitment can create a range of questions, emotions, or the need for additional resources. Fraternity and Sorority Life provides guidance and support to council and chapter leadership, and works closely with campus partners and inter/national organizations to provide a well-rounded experience. If our office can assist in your student’s fraternity or sorority experience, please do not hesitate to contact us.

New Member Education and 51做厙's Hazing Policy

The first step of membership is participating in a new member education process. This time serves as an orientation to the organization where new members learn about the history and traditions of the local chapter and inter/national organization, as well as get to know the current members.

  • All of our fraternities and sororities at 51做厙 are limited to six weeks for new member education, starting when bids or offers of membership are extended; many will have shorter processes.
  • Our students’ safety and well-being are our top priorities and we ensure all participants know that hazing is not permitted or tolerated. Hazing is a violation of Texas law and the 51做厙 Student Code of Conduct. Additionally, hazing is also a violation of the inter/national policies for each of our fraternities and sororities, as well as their governing national councils.
  • Individual students or organizations who are found to have engaged in hazing may be subject to fines and charged with a criminal offense, as well as face disciplinary action from the University. A complete definition of hazing as well as all of 51做厙’s policies can be found here.
  • Anyone who has knowledge of hazing activity can report it to the Student Conduct and Community Standards by clicking here or to the 51做厙 Police Department or both. Information about hazing may also be reported anonymously through the 51做厙 Police Department’s Silent Witness Program by calling 214-51做厙-2TIP or online. You can also use 51做厙's new anonymous texting feature. Text concerns to 205-TXT251做厙. 
  • If you believe hazing or any other illegal activity is taking place in your student’s organization, please utilize the form above or contact us at 214-768-6424, Student Conduct and Community Standards (SCCS) 214-768-4400 or the Office of the Dean of Students at 214-768-4563. The more information you provide about the alleged activities, the more effective 51做厙’s response can be.  Anonymous calls are accepted, but without the name of a chapter and/or specific allegations, a case becomes increasingly difficult to investigate.
