Study of Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment

Study of Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment Process Timeline
Fall 1996: Deferred Recruitment Report, Chancellor’s Committee on Greek Affairs
- The Chancellor’s Committee on Greek Affairs was charged by Chancellor Hooker in
1996 to study the concept of DEFERRED RUSH.
- The committee consisted of students, alumni, faculty, administration, house directors,
Chapel Hill Police and Fire Departments, and Student Legal Services.
- They recommended to the Chancellor NOT to defer rush for many reasons, however the
study brought to light a number of related issues that negatively impacted rush, alcohol
use and the intellectual climate.
November 15, 2001: Board of Trustees Meeting
- Melissa Exum, Dean of Students, presented results of the CORE survey
o According to the statistics, not only did non-Greek students feel alcohol is central
to fraternity and sorority life, an even higher percentage of GREEK students
admitted that it is.
- BOT requested an update on Greek Affairs, specifically answering the question, “Should
UNC consider deferred rush?”
- BOT asked that the Student Affairs Committee of the Board continue further discussions
with Greek Affairs on the deferred rush issue
January 2002: Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees
- IFC President, Matt O’Brien, answered questions posed by the committee and the
Chancellor
- Committee showed overwhelming support for the fraternity and sorority community, but
cited the need for greater self-governance and more mature adult supervision
o Specifically, the Chancellor supported the idea of required live-in house directors
or more active senior advisors for all Greek houses.
- BOT chairman, Tim Burnett, posed the question, “Is it a privilege for a fraternity/sorority
to be at UNC and, if so, what is the price to pay to exist?”
January 2002: IFC Alumni Advisors Committee Forms
- As a result of the meetings with the Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees,
Jim Gray, UNC ’70 and DKE alumnus, began to form an IFC alumni group.
- The committee divided itself into five subcommittees: rush, marketing, hazing, fire safety
and house safety.
March 27, 2002: Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees
- The BOT requested that the IFC and Panhellenic Presidents give a presentation on the
state of their organizations and how they plan on improving in the areas of recruitment,
programming, and community relations.
- The student leaders presented an action plan which included increased alumni and parents
involvement as well as increased University relations through an active review of the
hazing and alcohol policies.
November 2002: IFC Rush Subcommittee of the Chancellor’s Committee on Greek Affairs
- Committee consisted of faculty, IFC students, parents, alumni, staff and Jean Kitchin
(BOT)
- The major charge of the committee was to completely review the IFC Recruitment
process, specifically
o Pre-Recruitment (marketing, CTOPS sessions, media and parents outreach)
o Recruitment (structure, length, timing, events, enforcement)
o Post-Recruitment (new member education, hazing)
February 24, 2003: Subcommittee Report to the Chancellor’s Committee on Greek Affairs
- The report decided against deferring recruitment, but rather recommended a longer
recruitment period with a one-week delay, and no events scheduled Sundays through
Wednesdays.
- Also, the publication of an IFC recruitment booklet, establishment of an enforcement
team, creation of an “open house” program at the beginning of recruitment and required
registration to receive a bid, and the creation of the IFC Code of Conduct were all results
of this committee.
March 2003: University Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees
- Findings from the newly adopted IFC recruitment plan and Code of Conduct were
presented to the Board of Trustees. They endorsed the findings and requested a full
report of the results.
July 2003: University Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees
- The BOT requested an update on the progress of the implementation of the new IFC
Recruitment Plan from the Director of Greek Affairs.
October 30, 2003: Chancellor’s Committee on Greek Affairs
- The committee debriefed about the IFC Rush process.
- IFC Rush Subcommittee charged with suggesting any changes to the new IFC Rush plan
for Spring 2004.
November 20, 2004: Chancellor’s Committee on Greek Affairs
- IFC Rush Subcommittee reports a few modifications and shortening of the recruitment
schedule. The rationale was that all students interested in joining a fraternity have
already been at Carolina for a minimum of one semester (i.e., adjustment to campus was
not an argument).
January 2004: Board of Trustees meeting
- The BOT publicly announces concerns of hazing and review of deferred recruitment once
again. They charge the Chancellor’s Committee on Greek Affairs to provide reasons why
deferred recruitment would and would not work at Carolina as well as what steps need to
be taken to prevent hazing in the fraternity and sorority community.
January 30, 2004: Task Force on Personal Servitude and Deferred Recruitment
- The charge of the subcommittee was (1) to study the concerns of hazing with a focus on
“personal servitude”; and (2) study the implications of deferring recruitment to Spring
semester in preparation of a report to the BOT in March 2004.
- This charge was sparked by BOT members received calls and hearing stories of hazing in
the fraternities.
- BOT believed deferred rush = stronger academics; better lifestyle adjustment and
avoidance of strong social pulls in negative direction.
- Subcommittee studied academic averages of first-year pledges over 5 years as well as
deferred recruitment at peer institutions.
March 24, 2004: Presentation to the University Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees
- Director of Greek Affairs Anhorn and AVC Wolf Johnson spoke on identified problems
and recommendations on alumni involvement, enforcement of IFC Code of Conduct,
academic requirements, anonymous reporting structures and overall education of new and
active members.
- Council presidents presented on the pros and cons of deferred recruitment
- BOT embraced changes but stated they would keep an eye on the progress
September 2004: University Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees
- IFC President and Director of Greek Affairs report the recruitment results, statistics and
violations and the progress of enforcement of IFC Code of Conduct
October 2004: Board of Visitors requests an update on Greek issues
- Director of Greek Affairs reports the recruitment results in addition to judicial programs
and enforcement updates.
Chancellor's Committee on Greek Affairs
Deferred Recruitment Study - Fall 1996
During the summer of 1996, the Chancellor's Committee on Greek Affairs was charged with studying deferred
rush and making a recommendation by the end of Fall Semester 1996. This report constitutes the Chancellor's
Committee's recommendation.
The Chancellor's Committee on Greek Affairs began the study with four goals:
1. To comprehensively study the issue
2. To maximize input, particularly by students
3. To "do our homework" by producing a quality study
4. To keep an open mind as to the study outcome.
To study the issue comprehensively, seven sub-committees were established to examine each component of
deferred rush. The sub-committees are:
1. Definitions (how is deferred rush defined)
2. Enforcement (how would deferred rush be enforced)
3. Data (what data is needed to study this issue)
4. Survey (who should be surveyed)
5. Historical Perspective (what did deferred rush look like at UNC)
6. Finances (how will deferred rush affect finances)
7. Alternatives (what are some alternatives to deferred rush)
To maximize input, the list of sub-committees and their chairs was sent to all fraternity and sorority presidents
& advisors, was distributed at IFC, Panhellenic and NPHC meetings, and was part of a letter to editor to The
Daily Tarheel. Each sub-committee thoroughly studied their area, with countless hours spent researching each
aspect of deferred rush. The monthly Chancellor's Committee meetings were used to review each subcommittee's progress and to seek further input from those in attendance. Attendance at these meetings was
standing room only including coverage by the media. The amount of input, especially by students, was
excellent.
After long and careful study, the committee recommended the following:
PART ONE
That UNC not go to deferred rush for the following reasons:
1. Deferred rush creates a semester long, underground, uncontrolled rush that hinders the intellectual
climate. Peer institutions with deferred rush support this finding.
2. Students much prefer a two week period of controlled rush to 15 weeks of uncontrolled rush.
3. To be effective, deferred rush requires two university rules: student groups may not pledge firstterm freshmen, and no first-term freshmen may join student groups. Both rules would be difficult
to adopt and to defend legally.
4. Deferred rush requires a "strict silence" system where no members may speak to potential new
members prior to rush; a system running counter to integrating new students to the campus (2,600
student members being prohibited from speaking to 3,200 first-term freshmen is problematic).
5. No national fraternity or sorority supports deferred rush.
6. Considerable speculation exists that a legal challenge would be mounted if UNC adopted deferred
rush (first amendment freedom of association).

7.
Groups would suffer considerable financial difficulty with deferred rush, particularly with the
recent sprinkler system requirement.
8. The data does not support the argument that Fall term pledging negatively affects achievement or
retention.
9. The data shows a considerable, and growing, portion of first-term freshmen delaying their decision
to join a Greek group. Students are the best judges as to when to join a Greek group.
10. UNC's experience with deferred rush points toward the difficulty in making such a system work.
PART TWO
As the committee studied deferred rush a number of related issues arose that negatively impact rush, alcohol
abuse and the intellectual climate. The committee studied these issues and after careful consideration strongly
recommends that UNC take the following action:
1. The interim reforms adopted this summer (1996) have proven to be quite effective and therefore
are to be extended indefinitely. These include:
a. IFC and Panhellenic rush occur no longer than the first two weeks or school
b. That IFC cap chapter rush expenses at $5,000/semester (similar to Panhellenic limit of
$3,000)
c. That all rush functions be totally free of alcohol by everyone attending the function.
d. That pledges attend an alcohol & drug abuse seminar (in addition to the already required
seminars on risk management & fire safety and date rape prevention).
2. IFC and Panhellenic Fall rush to coincide and conclude on the same day.
3. Alleged violations of dry rush be referred to the Greek Judicial Board.
4. IFC to present a plan for structured rush to include open house dates for potential rushees, no
parties, and no alcohol to begin Fall 1997.
5. UNC is to seek alternative social outlets for students who have previously used fraternity rush
events as social outlets.
6. By Fall Semester 2000, all fraternities and sororities shall achieve a 2.5 chapter GPA.
7. By Fall Semester 2000, all pledges shall be fully initiated no later than 8 weeks after rush.
8. Fraternities and sororities shall conduct mandatory study hours for new members.
9. IFC, Panhellenic and NPHC shall produce a major program or lecture series annually, open to the
campus, that improves the intellectual climate.
PART THREE
That the Chancellor's Committee on Greek Affairs be charged with developing a comprehensive strategic plan
for fraternities and sororities by the end of Spring Semester 1997. This plan shall include but not limited to the
following:
1. Identifying the various components of the Greek Community (scholarship, leadership, services,
alumni involvement, etc.).
2. Assessing where each component is currently.
3. Determine what each component should ideally be achieving.
4. Determine how each component can achieve its ideal including what services UNC should be
providing fraternities and sororities.

data is filed in the Office of the Assistant Secretary.]
Following his presentation, Dr. Shelton commented that this issue needs to be
examined every year, not necessarily with the idea of raising tuition, but so there is a regular
review and is being handled in a concerted, considered systematic manner.
It's too
important a topic to let it slide year after year without review.
Chancellor Moeser commented that system schools need to synchronize and coordinate whatever the UNC System is going to do for an across-the-board tuition increase
that would affect the whole UNC System that would be passed along by the Board of
Governors. The system schools should be given the guidelines in advance in case the
school wanted to do a campus-based initiative built on the platform of whatever the system
does. This matter was discussed during a previous Board of Governors meeting, which was
attended by the UNC System President and the campus chancellors. The majority of
opinion, ultimately subscribed to by the President, was a modest, very small system-wide

Minutes – November 20-21, 2002
For over 200 years, students have determined the standards to which they want to be
held, and even today we firmly believe that student self-governance—the ability to have a
collective standard and to be judged by one’s peers—is one of the University’s most precious
assets. We have a rich history, not simply of student involvement, but of genuine student
leadership in its truest sense—taking ownership of our campus, making decisions that enable
us to improve ourselves and our community, working to steer Carolina towards something
better.”
