Fines

Below is a list of Standard Fines that are issued.  Keep in mind that these fines may vary with each situation depending on such things as fire code violations, degree of damage, previous warnings, reoccurring instances, and if the University points out something to the Office of Fraternity/Sorority Life as a major problem that must be solved.  Listed below is the most common range of dollar amounts, but as stated, these may vary with degree.  Feel free to ask the AGC on inspection duty, or call our staff directly at extension 2895 with any questions you have about any fine your chapter may incur.

The Office of Fraternity/Sorority Life reserves the right to do housing inspections at all hours. However, most are conducted by the Assistant Greek Coordinators on a weekly basis.

Fraternity/Sorority fine invoices are put in chapter mailboxes.  It is the Presidents responsibility to see that fines are paid by the “Due Date”.  Fines are due by 12 noon on the first and third Wednesday of each month unless otherwise stated (holidays, breaks, etc.)  Fines are payable in the form of check or money order. Payment is accepted in the Office of Fraternity/Sorority Life, Taylor Hall - Suite 205A. Sheila Williams and Julia Hornick will accept payment.

Payment will not be accepted by any AGC’s or IFC/Panhellenic member.
 
Please refer to your President's Calendar for due dates.
