Administrative Policies

The Board of Trustees hereby authorizes the Administration to allow Greek organizations to purchase or rent property off campus, if done under the following standards which will be required in order to maintain official recognition by UCA:

1. The organization will obtain the approval and support of its local alumni board, national office, or appropriate governing body.
2. The organization will develop a set of "house rules" and have these rules approved by the appropriate governing body. Additionally, these rules must be approved and placed on file with the Vice President for Student Services prior to occupancy of the property. Approved "house rules" must contain a minimum of the following:
1. Appropriate visitation policy;
2. policies concerning alcoholic beverages and prohibiting the possession or use of illegal drugs and controlled substances;
3. procedures for regular safety and maintenance inspections;
4. identification of items that cannot be used, possessed, or stored on fraternity property;
5. provisions for parking; and
6. identification of quiet hours.
3. The organization will have a Resident Counselor who is selected by the appropriate governing board.
4. The organization will establish procedures to appropriately discipline members who violate "house rules" or local or state laws.

The Administration is hereby authorized and directed to consider the following criteria in granting approval to purchase or rent property off campus: size of organization, financial stability, "house rules," support of governing body, location or property, and agreement to work with local city officials to meet local zoning requirements.
