Sorority and Fraternity Life
Unrecognized Groups
Some organizations that were once recognized fraternities or sororities at UC Davis may attempt to continue to operate despite having lost recognition from the University. Any operation of these groups is considered underground activity and is not sanctioned by the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life. Therefore, students should carefully consider their potential student conduct record before associating with an unrecognized group.
These organizations have had their recognition revoked by the institution for various reasons, including such things as hazing, alcohol and drug abuse, risk management violations, and failure to comply with University policies and expectations. These organizations have in almost all cases also had their charter suspended or revoked by their inter/national organization because they were not upholding fraternal values and were engaging 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 Pages website. If you have a question please contact the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life 530-752-4606.
