Publication: A Call for Values Congruence
A Call for Values Congruence determines college and university presidents must:
- Reaffirm the primacy of an academic culture for the campus community. Some simple first steps include reestablishing a five-day academic week, and requiring an acceptable level of academic performance.
- Articulate collegiate expectations for student groups by enforcing clear policies addressing underage drinking, and establishing periodic dialogues between university officials and advisers to Greek chapters.
- Encourage the development of programs and policies addressing alcohol abuse based on research findings and oversee their implementation.
- Establish a periodic certification process for all recognized social fraternities and sororities. Preferably, the certification would be conducted by or include representation external to the campus. The focus would be on individual chapters’ records of abiding by policies, and should result in commendation, certification, probationary status or, when justified, closing of a chapter.
- Dedicate necessary resources to promote healthy lifestyles for all students.
- Consider the adoption of a policy whereby official campus recognition is given only to those Greek organizations that have adopted and implemented membership and behavioral standards congruous with those adopted by the North-American Interfraternity Council.
