Information on student groups
A student organization is defined as a registered group/club of students at JCSU that operates under University policies and procedures and whose programs and activities affect the education process, promote cultural understanding, common interests, student welfare, and/or contributes to the overall community at JCSU while not interfering or disrupting the orderly operation and rights of the University community.
Historically, Greek-letter organizations and social fellowships have assumed an active role in contributing to the cultural, scholastic, political, service, and social life on campus, as well as providing leadership opportunities for students. At JCSU fraternities, sororities, and social fellowships are involved in educational programs, community service, and leadership development. They also provide a strong bond of friendship among their members. For the purposes of this document the term Fraternal Organization refers to social fraternities, sororities, and social fellowships.
