There are costs or dues associated with being a member in a fraternity or sorority. These expenses are used to fund social events, chapter operations and programming. Some chapter dues are all inclusive while others are not and that is up to the discretion of each chapter. This money also allows (inter)national headquarters to provide resources and other support to the chapter. Please contact individual chapters here at �ʼһ��� to learn more about their dues.

Time management plays a crucial role for all students enrolled in college, and everyone manages their time differently. Many students in fraternity and sorority life are able to balance their academics, jobs, internships and other involvement on campus while being actively involved with their chapter. The time commitment involved being an active member in a chapter varies, but most chapters have weekly meetings and other mandatory events throughout the course of the academic year that are planned in advance.

�ʼһ��� does not tolerate any acts of hazing by any student, organization or team or any other member of the College community. Hazing is related specifically to pledging, being initiated into, developing an affiliation with, holding office in, or maintaining membership in any organization. Hazing is defined as any activity that humiliates, degrades, abuses or endangers a person, regardless of a person's willingness to participate, or is otherwise prohibited by Florida Statutes 1006.63. Students are prohibited from the following:

• Actively participating in any activity related to hazing.

• Passively participating in or having knowledge of any activity related to hazing.

The following is information regarding Andrew's Law as well as the Florida Statute covering hazing:

Andrew's Law

Andrew’s Law is a bill that passed in the state of Florida after the death of a Florida State University fraternity student in 2017. This law states that a person may not be prosecuted if he or she establishes all of the following:

• That he or she was present at an event where, as a result of hazing, a person appeared to be in need of immediate medical assistance.

• That he or she provided his or her own name, the address where immediate medical assistance was needed and a description of the medical issue to the 911 operator or campus security at the time of the call.

• That he or she remained at the scene with the person in need of immediate medical assistance until such medical assistance, law enforcement or campus security arrived and that he or she cooperated with such personnel on the scene.

A person is immune from prosecution under this section if the person establishes that, before medical assistance, law enforcement or campus security arrived on the scene of a hazing event, the person rendered aid to the hazing victim. For purposes of this subsection, “aid” includes, but is not be limited to, rendering cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the victim, clearing an airway for the victim to breathe, using a defibrillator to assist the victim, or rendering any other assistance to the victim which the person intended in good faith to stabilize or improve the victim’s condition while waiting for medical assistance, law enforcement or campus security to arrive.
