| The Student Organization Handbook defines a student organization as a group of currently enrolled University of South Florida students who unite to promote a common interest. The University of South Florida requires all general fraternities and sororities to be affiliated with a governing council under the umbrella of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and with a larger, nationally-based organization who provide additional supervision, guidance, and programming on a wide variety of topics. Unauthorized expansion activities such as “campus crashing”, “ghost lines”, recruiting or soliciting membership, pre-initiation activities, pledging, educating and/or initiating USF students without having approved recognition through the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life will not be allowed. Additionally, any potential chapter (otherwise known as a colony) and/or chapter operating at the University of South Florida must be working toward or have a charter that designates it as a chapter at USF-Tampa. City-wide/metro chapters are not permitted at USF.
The following organizations have interest groups that are registered as student organizations but do not have permission to act or conduct business as a fraternity/sorority:

Please note that students affiliating with an unregistered student organization will be held individually responsible for actions stemming from membership in the organization.
