Unrecognized Organizations

Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) has been an integral part of the student experience at The University of New Hampshire (UNH). Due to violations of the Code of Student Conduct for severe safety concerns, UNH has unrecognized organizations in recent years. This list will be updated every five years.?

Organizations that have had their recognition suspended by the university due to violations of the Code of Student Conduct and are not overseen or managed by the University or their respective councils include:

Make informed decisions

Such “off-campus” or “underground” organizations, and suspended organizations generally, are not recognized at UNH. They no longer have the rights and privileges afforded to a recognized student organization, have no affiliation, supervision or advising by UNH, and are not otherwise under any university purview. Likewise, they do not follow the established rules for social Greek-lettered organizations and do not give the university the names of their members.

Students and families are strongly encouraged to review the good standing social Greek-lettered organizations they wish to join and make informed decisions. Students are strongly discouraged from joining or attending the events of unrecognized student groups. Despite what they may say regarding their organization there is a good reason why they are no longer a part of our flourishing community.?
