Being a member of a sorority and fraternity is a significant time commitment. For most people, the time requirement would be equivalent to taking another 3-credit class.
While self-governing, each of our individual chapters is held accountable by multiple entities. Chapters are responsible for meeting the standards that are set forth by their inter/national organization, 他们的管理委员会, as well as 华东大学 through the Office of Campus 参与. 除了, each chapter is required to maintain an internal judicial system that is designed to hold members accountable for their actions.
