Dean Holmes presented recommendations from the University Social

Committee that the rules governing fraternity scholarship be amended as 5
follows:

 

For purposes of the following rules, the word fraternity shall include 1
all social fraternities and sororities. '

 

 

 

1. Beginning the second semester 1954-55, any social fraternity whose ;
actives and pledges fail to earn a combined 2.0 average shall be 1
placed on academic probation for one semester with suSpension of 1
social privileges for that period. .

2.

 

If the fraternity on academic probation fails to earn the required
2.0 average, it shall be continued on academic probation for a second
semester with continued suspension of social privileges and with

any advisory action which the Dean of Men or Dean of Women may

deem appropriate.

 

 

  

Minutes of the University Faculty, January 10. 1955

3. If the fraternity fails to meet the academic requirements for a
second consecutive semester, it shall be denied all rush, pledge.
and social privileges for the third semester and shall be subject
to any other disciplinary action which the Dean of Men or Dean
of Women may deem appropriate.

4. If a fraternity fails to meet the academic requirements for three
consecutive semesters, all fraternity functions will be suspended
and the Dean of Men or Dean of Women may request a review of its
status by a faculty committee to consider revocation of the chapter's
charter.

5. Penalties for violation of social probation shall be imposed by
the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women. The Dean of Men may refer
a fraternity violation to the Regulations Committee of the Inter-
fraternity Council for consideration and recommendation. The
Dean of Women may refer a sorority violation to the Panhellenic
Council for the same purposes.

6. Final decisions respecting the renewal of pledging and initiation
privileges denied a fraternity or sorority and the extreme penalty
of revocation of a charter shall be made by the University Faculty
on the basis of evidence furnished and recommendations made by the
Dean of Men or the Dean of Women. These requirements and penalties
may be applied, as far as is practicable, to any campus organization
or group that has organized social activities.

Explanation of Basic Policy Changes

The above rulings will result in the following basic changes from the
present regulations.

1. A.change from a school-year to a one-semester basis for computing
grade-point average and length of the subsequent period of
academic probation.

2. A reduction in the grade point average requirement from 2.3 to
2.0 which is the requirement for graduation from 811 colleges.

3. A reduction from a two-year period to a three-semester period
for duration of probation and possible withdrawal of a chapter's
charter.

4. An extension from six weeks to one semester of the period before
depledging for fraternities. All pledges' grades will be counted
in the overall average of the fraternity for academic purposes.

After discussion of these recommendations a motion was apprOVed referring the
matter to the Committee on Rules.
