Title

Resolution of Interfraternity Council on Discrimination

Subject

Resolution in regards to discrimination within the Greek selection processes

Description

This official university resolution from April 1954 asserts the goals of fraternities and sororities as fostering “understanding between men and nations” and therefore finds restrictive, discriminatory clauses in their charters to be antithetical to their purpose on campus. It is agreed that no new social groups will be allowed on campus if their purposes are discriminatory, that a committee will be formed to help reform Greek selection processes, and that copies of this resolution will be sent to these groups’ national offices and the National Interfraternity Office.
