Policies & Forms

Recognized Greek chapters are expected to uphold all policies and regulations established by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Towson University and the State of Maryland. 

Maintaining your Chapter

All fraternal organizations must have a faculty/staff advisor. This is university policy for all student led organizations. Below is the form that needs to be completed every semester (October 1st and March 1st) 

All chapters at Towson University are now required to have proof of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) of social liability insurance. Towson University must be named as the certificate holder on the document. An update insurance policy is collected every February 

 

Students interested in joining a Greek-letter organization must be a fully matriculated (full-time credit load) undergraduate student who possess over a 2.5 cumulative GPA. First-term freshmen and transfer students are exempt from this requirement. No graduate students may participate, as a roster member, with the chapter. Once a student is intiated into their organization Towson University does not have a GPA requirement for individual members.

Towson University requires that all student organizations must begin with and maintain a minimum of five active members to be recognized on campus.  If any chapter falls below five members for two consecutive semesters they may lose recognition.

All chapters have “internal” accounts with the Student Government Association and will no longer need to bring money to events to pay ECS, Catering, etc. Money may be deposited on the third floor of the West Village Commons, Student Billing Office.  

An updated website is extremely vital to success in any group. A website is part of how perspective students and families, students, and staff and local communities learn about the group and their activities. Please check your chapter's homepage under Recognized Fraternities and Sororities. If the correct link to your homepage is not posted, please send the new link to  

Chapter Presidents will follow instructions outlined in the Start of The Year Packet to update their roster on their sharepoint drive at the start of the semester. To keep your rosters up to date throughout the semester after the inital roster is submitted you will fill roster update form. Email to recieve the roster update form. 

Chapter presidents recieve a packet that outlines the important deadlines, required meetings and events/opportunties for  each semester. This packet is sent out atleast 3 weeks prior to the start of each semester. It is imperative for chapter presidents and executive board members review the packet to sustain chapter operations.
