Expansion Presentations for Men's Fraternities

On the basis of its experience, the Fraternity Executives Association believes that the evaluation by appropriate college officials and/or an interfraternity council of a general fraternity for expansion to a campus should:

• be open to all fraternities not currently represented on the campus;
  
• exclude costly multi-media presentations, financial and housing commitments and political influence;
  
• recognize that the size of a general fraternity or the number of local alumni is not an indication of that fraternity's ability to administer an expansion project;
  
• respect the right of any organized college group to seek affiliation with the fraternity of its choice;
  
• recognize the constitutional fights of a general fraternity to expand to a campus as guaranteed by the freedom of association provisions of the United States Constitution.

 The Fraternity Executives Association, therefore, states its support for open, unrestricted expansion for all college and university fraternity systems, and encourages Interfraternity Councils and member fraternities to move toward such a program.
