9 Requesting Reinstatement: The provisions of reinstatement will depend upon the individual organization’s violations. The specific violations should be noted in the organization’s letter to request reinstatement. Based on the scenario this process is completely customized based on the status of the organization. Chapters being reinstated will return under disciplinary probation with checkpoints to earn their way back to good standing. If the organization is requesting reinstatement after choosing to dissolve the chapter, it must wait a minimum of five (5) years before requesting reinstatement and be approved by the governing council. Termination of Registration: A Fraternity and/or Sorority may have its recognition terminated upon: • Request of the organization (in which the chapter must wait a minimum of five (5) years before requesting reinstatement and be approved by the governing council). • Failure to comply with the rules, regulations, policies, and procedures of NSU and the Fraternity and Sorority Life Office. • Request of the Inter/national organization chartering the NSU organization. Grade Point Average and Organization Status All chapters/colonies are to maintain, at a minimum, a 2.50 cumulative and term grade point average to retain privileges. If a chapter/colony falls below this standard, the chapter may lose certain privileges until the GPA minimum is acquired as determined by a review by The Fraternity and Sorority Life Office. If an organization’s term grade point average does not meet the standard, they are considered on social probation (page 7). If an organization’s cumulative grade point average falls below a 2.50, they are considered on academic probation (page 7). Organizations on academic probation must also present and implement an academic plan and meet with the Graduate Assistant for Fraternity and Sorority Life Programming and/or Coordinator of Fraternity and Sorority Engagement at least once a month. Organizations may be given any of the above statuses based upon a review and decision of The FSL Office that the organization failed to meet the Fraternity and Sorority Life Standards or violated NSU or FSL policies or procedures. Decisions of The FSL Office related to chapter status categories are not subject to appeal. FSL Student Conduct Process Standard Operating Procedures (1) Complaint.
