Fraternity & Sorority Programs
We know many questions are surrounding COVID-19 as it relates to the Arizona Greek community. Fraternity & Sorority Programs has been communicating with chapter presidents and advisors regularly. Ultimately, we’re encouraging chapters to conduct only essential business and focus their energy on transitioning to remote learning and staying healthy. Keeping in line with the University’s suspension of in-person instruction and move to online classes, all chapter meetings should be done through Zoom or other online means. If you have any questions about refunds for dues, housing, or meal plans, or just general questions, please have your student contact the chapter President. Each organization is independently and privately operated so the best source for answers will be the chapter President.
Please don’t hesitate to let Fraternity & Sorority Programs know if there’s anything else we can be doing to support your child DOS-Greek@arizona.edu.
