Organization’s Responsibilities to the IHQ Advisor The organization’s officers must regularly communicate with their IHQ Advisor. Include the IHQ advisor in establishing a schedule of meetings and planning events. Consult your IHQ advisor before any changes in the structure or policies of the organizations are made, and before major projects are undertaken.

Expectations for all NSU Fraternity and Sorority Alumni/ae The following expectations are required of our alumni/ae that are part of or have been a part of a recognized fraternity and/or sorority chapter/colony at NSU (regardless of the chapter/ colony’s current on campus status). Alumni/ae are expected to: • Serve as mentors and guides to current undergraduate members of the Greek community, within and outside of their respective chapter/colony. • Provide professional development and life opportunities. • Behave accordingly to not endanger or jeopardize the current undergraduate chapter/colony’s standing. All inappropriate behavior by alums directly influences and reflects on the undergraduate chapter/colony. • Be active in their respective alumni boards and/or council alumni boards, if applicable. • Connect chapter/colony with non-NSU Alumni in the area to ensure maximum networking potential for undergraduates.
