For more than 165 years, Fraternity and Sorority Programs (FSP) has been an integral part of the student experience at Tulane University. Due to violations of the Code of Student Conduct for very serious safety concerns, Tulane has derecognized several social fraternities in recent years
Organizations that have had their recognition suspended by the university due to violations of the Code of Student Conduct include:
- 828 is an unrecognized organization that isn't associated with Tulane.
- Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE) was expelled in 2015.
- Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) was suspended in 2008 until further notice.
- Sigma Alpha Mu (Sammy) is suspended until further notice.
- Sigma Phi Epsilon (Sig Ep) was suspended in 2018 until further notice.
Organizations that have never been associated with Tulane University:
- Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
Such “off-campus” or “underground” organizations, and suspended organizations generally, are not recognized at Tulane. They no longer have the rights and privileges afforded to a recognized student organization, have no affiliation, supervision, or advising by Tulane, and are not otherwise under any university purview. Likewise, they do not follow the established rules for social Greek-lettered organizations and do not give the university the names of their members.
Students and families are strongly encouraged to review the disciplinary history of the social Greek-lettered organizations they wish to join and make informed decisions. Students are strongly discouraged from joining or attending the events of unrecognized student groups.
A complete list of all recognized student organizations at Tulane can be found on WaveSync, which includes fraternities and sororities.
Our team values the partnership we have with the recognized fraternities and sororities who meet the expectations of our Code of Student Conduct, the principles of our Standards of Excellence, and the policies and values of their inter/national organizations and our local governing councils. If you have any questions about Fraternity and Sorority Programs at Tulane University, please contact our Fraternity and Sorority Programs Staff via email or contact a staff member directly using their website information found on the FSP website.
We encourage your student to consider joining recognized clubs and organizations. We are confident that your student’s involvement outside the classroom will enrich their time as a Tulanian.
