University of Texas Recruitment 2014

[AZ-AlphaXi]

Here's the language from the Manual of Information (aka Green Book) on sanctions:

5. Sanctions
A. Appropriate Sanctions. Each College Panhellenic shall strive to achieve a fair and reasonable
resolution for infractions. Sanctions should fit the nature and degree of the offense.
• Monetary fines shall be acceptable only for a measurable offense of the Panhellenic’s
governing documents or stated membership recruitment rules.
• The amounts of monetary fines shall be predetermined by a vote of the College Panhellenic
Council and stated in the Panhellenic standing rules and/or membership recruitment rules
prior to the beginning of recruitment.
• Examples of reasons for monetary fines may be limited to the following:
o Late recruitment event invitation lists
o Recruitment events that exceed designated event times
o Prohibited postings on social media outlets
o Required chapter attendance at Panhellenic-sponsored events
Sanctions shall not:
• Forbid formal or informal recruitment activities or the observance of an inter/national
fraternity event such as an educational program, ritual ceremony or historical celebration.
• Affect a fraternity chapter’s quota or total.
• Affect the time of new member acceptance and/or initiation.
• Forbid the right of an NPC fraternity to vote in College Panhellenic meetings.
• Include removal from the College Panhellenic.

It seems to me that the CPC doesn't have the authority to restrict a chapter's participation in formal recruitment as a punishment.

Thank you for clarifying.

It is sad that a national organization has allowed this practice to continue. It shouldn't take a PR event to put a stop to this kind of behavior.

All you Greek Chaters are wasting your time expressing your outrage over the dance party on this website. Contact someone who can actually do something about it, like the president of UT, and don't claim he is powerless to stop it.
