Six USC fraternities have decided to disaffiliate from the university. The fall semester begins Aug. 22.
"This decision seems to be driven by the desire to eliminate university oversight of their operations. The members are chafing at procedures and protocols designed to prevent sexual assault and drug abuse and deal with issues of mental health and underage drinking. They also object to not being able to rush freshmen in the fall — a practice that has been repeatedly shown to be unsafe for new students.
"Like members of all unaffiliated organizations, their members will still be held to the same high standards of behavior as the rest of our students, but they will no longer receive the privileges afforded to university- sanctioned groups ... While disaffiliation of these fraternities affects a very small percentage of our student population, we care deeply about the well-being of our students.
"This decision is detrimental and goes against 130 years of tradition. We strongly urge students not to join these unaffiliated organizations or attend their events, and we will continue to uphold our high expectations for behavior in our neighboring communities."USC President Carol Folt acknowledged last fall that the university waited too long to notify the campus community of allegations of drugging and possible sexual assaults at fraternity parties.
The allegations caused the Interfraternity Council to call a halt to all social activities at campus fraternities after the Department of Public Safety announced the allegations. The new rules announced in January include posting security guards at stairs or hallways leading to bedrooms during parties and required sexual violence prevention training for all fraternity members.that I have read and agree
