Fraternity Regulation 3.1 (Original)

POSITION STATEMENTS / Responsibilities of Members

Effective August 7, 1973

3.1.1. TRIANGLE, by resolution of National Council, endorses and subscribes to the following resolution setting out the responsibilities of Fraternity members:

RESOLUTION ON RESPONSIBILITIES OF FRATERNITY MEMBERS ADOPTED AT THE 1963 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE COLLEGE FRATERNITY SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION (now the Fraternity Executives’ Association)

WHEREAS, It is apparent that many fraternity chapters do not make it clear to their rushees just what their individual responsibilities are in relation to their respective chapters, and as a result such rushees fail to fulfill those responsibilities, especially when they become upperclassmen, now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That all member fraternities be provided with the following statement of responsibilities, and that each fraternity, either through its magazine columns or a release to chapters from each central office, urge their chapters to impress continuously upon their members and especially their rushees these responsibilities:

Complete financial, moral and academic support by every member for four years, or until such members have received a degree, including

  1. Residing in and eating all meals in the chapter if vacancies exist;
  2. Attending all chapter meetings and official functions unless prevented from doing so because of circumstances beyond the member's control;
  3. Compliance with all policies and regulations, set forth by the college and the national fraternity, including those relating to hazing, drinking and general behavior, and, be it further

RESOLVED, That this statement of responsibility be disseminated to interfraternity councils, for use in their general fraternity brochures, should they desire to use it.
