This year will be different, it may be difficult, but we have an obligation to keep each other safe. That is at
the core of brotherhood & sisterhood.
This information was made possible because of the collaboration and work from student leaders, alumni advisors, campus professionals, and more.
● Comply with all enhanced social and event management policies, rules, and requirements adopted by the University, including required registration of and approval for all in-person events.
● When socializing in person, to do so only in small groups of fewer than 30 people, (or as otherwise set by the university or public health authorities), to maintain six-feet of physical distance between people, and to wear a face covering at all times.
● When acting as a host for any social gathering or event on or off campus, responsibility for complying with and reinforcing applicable University rules with all participants and guests.
● Refrain from organizing, hosting, or attending events, parties, or other social gathering on or off-campus that may cause safety risks to any members of the community.
During our time together, we’ll review:
❏ Specific definition of Event
❏ Details about living in, chapter meetings, and meals
❏ When small in person events can be registered and how
Due to significant risk associated with the global Coronavirus pandemic, we have agreed to a social event moratorium for the fall 2020 academic semester.
The health and safety of both the Cornell & Ithaca communities if our first priority.Our members will work diligently to safeguard the health and well-being of all people we engage and interact with throughout the semester.
This moratorium, is effective immediately. Violations of this moratorium, no matter on or off campus, will be forwarded to the Greek Judicial Process.
Regardless of location, whether on or off campus and with or without alcohol an event is an “event” for the purposes of the Risk Management and Social Event Policy if any of the following occur:
● It can be associated with a specific chapter (or chapters) by a reasonable outside observer.
● Chapter members took part in the coordination of the event for the benefit of the chapter and/or members, new members, or potential new members.
● The event is sponsored, publicized, financed, and/or endorsed by the chapter.
The only exceptions to this definition of event are:○ Registered alcohol free events, of less than 30 people, which comply with
the Campus Activities Student Organization Social, Event and Meeting Requirements and the Cornell Behavior Compact will be allowed to begin AFTER October 5th.
○ Whether the chapter facility is on or off campus, student members 21 years of age or older, are permitted to drink alcohol at their residence if permitted by the national/local organization and in accordance with all laws. Additionally, hard alcohol is not permitted in residential chapter facilities.
● Guests (non-members) may not be invited to the house and are not part of chapter operations.
● Regular chapter operations involving only members, such as living together in a house or eating meals with housemates, do not need to be registered, however, the chapter is responsible for knowing who is present for contact tracing purposes, and the chapter may not exceed the University designated number (30) for any chapter operations other than residing in the house.
● Sororities and fraternities are required to devise strategies to create smaller groups for meals and meetings, for example, eating in shifts and takeout options for out of house members.
Virtual events are the best choice for the first few weeks.
In person activities and meetings of 30 or less without alcohol and in accordance with Cornell and local health and safety rules will be allowed after October 5th.
This is the same as the Campus Activities process and is VERY important for contact tracing purposes.
We are happy our process for sororities and fraternities is directly in line in partnership with all student organizations and activities.

Violations of these Fall 2020 Sorority & Fraternity Event and Meeting Expectations and Social Moratorium will be handled expeditiously by the Judicial Process for Sororities & Fraternities. The Director of the Office of Sorority & Fraternity Life will triage all referrals. Credible reports will be resolved by an informal resolution, Greek Judicial Board hearing, or Sorority & Fraternity Organization Misconduct Board procedure.
Severe, pervasive and/or repeated violations of these requirements may result in the sorority or fraternity being placed on Interim Suspension, which means all actions must cease pending investigation. In addition, individual violations of the Cornell Student Behavioral Compact that are brought to the attention of the Office of Sorority & Fraternity Life will be referred to the Campus Compact Compliance Team (CCCT) and may result in further referral to the Office of the Judicial Administrator (OJA).
As per the existing Judicial Process for Sororities & Fraternities, possible sanctions include:
A. Educational/RemedialB. WarningC. Social ProbationD. Disciplinary ReprimandE. Disciplinary ProbationF. Loss of Recognition
