Sorority and Fraternity LifeUnrecognized Groups

Some organizations that were once recognized fraternities or sororities at UCDavis may attempt to continue to operate despite having lost recognition fromthe University. Any operation of these groups is considered underground activity and is not sanctioned by theOffice of Sorority and Fraternity Life. Therefore, students should carefully consider their potential studentconduct record before associating with an unrecognized group. These organizations have had their recognition revoked by the institution for various reasons, including suchthings as hazing, alcohol and drug abuse, risk management violations, and failure to comply with Universitypolicies and expectations. These organizations have in almost all cases also had their charter suspended orrevoked by their inter/national organization because they were not upholding fraternal values and wereengaging in risky behaviors that endangered the members and other students. For a complete list of recognized groups please visit the UC Davis Sorority and Fraternity Life Chapter Pageswebsite. If you have a question please contact the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life 530­752­4606.
