Expectations of Citizenship and Recognition of FSILGs

• Discrimination and Harassment
• Hazing

Recognition is the formal process by which MIT agrees that an FSILG may function on campus as any other recognized student organization and as Approved Institute Housing, if applicable. MIT seeks to recognize and support those Fraternities, Sororities, and Independent Living Groups whose purpose and practices are consistent with those of the Institute. Through this support, the Institute acknowledges the value of this community and the benefits of participation in a Greek-letter organization or independent living group. When an FSILG or its members violate Institute Standards and Policies, matters shall be directed through the Institute’s judicial system. In instances where an FSILG operates in a manner severely contrary to the Standards, Policies, and/or Mission of the Institute, the Institute reserves the right to revoke or suspend recognition of the FSILG, and to remove all recognition privileges. Removal of recognition privileges includes but is not limited to loss of Good Standing with the Institute and/or loss of Approved Institute Housing status.

Each member organization of the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association, and Living Group Council is expected to participate in self-governing practices with advisement by the Institute.

Discrimination and Harassment[back to top]

FSILGs shall comply fully with Institute policies on non-discrimination and harassment and be sensitive to issues of human dignity, including but not limited to race, ethnic origin, gender, creed, religion, sexual orientation and physical disability.

Hazing[back to top]

FSILGs are to be free from hazing practices as defined by Mass. General Laws, Chapter 269 Sec. 17. and all applicable governing council and Inter/National policies on Hazing and New Member Education.
