Social Sororities and Fraternities¾student - student organizations that are founded on the principles of brotherhood/sisterhood and are based on the ideals of friendship, personal growth and service to the community. In partnership with the college, social sororities and fraternities promote the highest standards of scholarship, leadership, and service for their members. The United States Department of Education has established guidelines and criteria necessary to be classified as a social sorority or fraternity (which includes a provision that allows an organization to operate as a single-sex organization). In keeping with the criteria established by the Department of Education, the college classifies social sororities and fraternities as organizations that: (a) do not limit membership to persons pursuing or having interest in a particular field of study, profession or academic discipline; (b) do not serve as honorary societies for academic, leadership, or any other endeavor; (c) do not permit members to hold membership in other social sororities or fraternities. In addition these organizations must also: (a) have tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (b) limit membership to currently enrolled students at Canisius College.
