Colgate University Board of Trustees resolutions
“Organizations that choose to retain ownership will no longer be residential and accordingly will not be recognized by Colgate after June 2005. In this regard, we are aware that there are ideas of houses functioning as eating clubs or even continuing as underground, unrecognized fraternities. Everyone should understand that the University will not permit this and will adopt a policy that any student who participates in an unrecognized fraternity or sorority will be subject to disciplinary sanctions including, possibly, suspension or expulsion.”
