Academics first
Members remain students first, with chapter study expectations and peer accountability.
For families
A clear view of membership.
Families deserve straightforward answers about academics, cost, time, safety, and the expectations of fraternity life.
Time and finances
Students should understand chapter dues, event commitments, and expectations before accepting membership.
Responsible membership
We follow university and national risk-management standards and maintain a strict anti-hazing policy.
Open communication
Families are welcome to stop by the chapter house and contact chapter leadership with questions or concerns.
What to expect
Growth with accountability.
Fraternity membership should complement a student’s education, not compete with it. The strongest experience comes from clear expectations, sound judgment, and honest communication.
Questions worth discussing
- How will chapter responsibilities fit around classes and work?
- What are the full financial expectations for the semester?
- Who should a member or family contact when a concern arises?
- What leadership, service, and personal-growth opportunities are available?
