Community Policy Enforcement
Please read the following message from Travis Stuewe, IFC Director of Judicial Affairs, tcstuewe@ksu.edu
Attention Chapter Presidents, Social Chairs, Risk Managers, & Advisors:
Due to several events this semester, culminated by events this past weekend, the Interfraternity Council would like to remind chapters that hard alcohol is not allowed on Chapter premises at all during events, registered or unregistered. We will be enforcing a zero tolerance policy. This means a few things. First, as Director of Judicial Affairs, I will now be accompanying the SRC to check registered social events. I will walk through and make sure that no members are in their own rooms, even those not part of the Designated Party Area, taking shots of hard alcohol. If I find such actions taking place, the event will be shut down... no questions asked; and judicial action may follow.
Secondly, I am asking that Sorority Presidents take the time to educate your women on the expectations that the Interfraternity Council has for our chapters' events. We have found that many of our sorority women are unaware of the rules we require our men too follow and they may be less likely to take part in violations if they knew the consequences. These rules include no drinking games, no underage drinking, that their name must be on the guest list, and that everyone has a 6-beer limit at BYOB events.
Any questions regarding this issue can be directed at myself or Brandon Cutler. |
Date Setting Recruitment Meeting

Help prevent the spread of influenza in your chapter
K-State and Greek Affairs is prepared to help your chapter respond to sick members, but more importantly, we want to help you be aware of how your chapter can stay healthy. Here's what you should know:
H1N1 flu is spread through respiratory droplets that are coughed or sneezed into the air. It may also be spread by virus that remains on hands after coughing or sneezing that gets spread to others through common use items such as phones, doorknobs, desks and keyboards.
If you or one of your chapter sisters are sick, have them stay home to avoid spreading illness. Encourage them not to go to class or chapter functions and certianly do not require their attendance.
All members should use simple caution during the flu season: cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue and properly dispose of used tissues. Clean hands after using tissues with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer or soap and warm water. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Stay healthy by eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water and getting adequate rest and exercise.
Should members in your chapter become ill, please contact the Greek Affairs office immediately.
On Thursday, all Greek students received the and annual email encouraging safety. Included this semester was special information about influenza and other timely cautions. Read the newsletter now. |
