FHSU 2005-2006 Student Handbook
 
Organizied Living

University residence halls, fraternities and sororities offer students programmed opportunities for academic, cultural, social and physical growth. Students are encouraged to consider the advantages of living in an organized living environment. Single students who enroll within less than one year following the date their class graduated from high school are required to live in a university residence hall, a sorority or fraternity house, or in the home of their parents or legal guardian during the first year of enrollment. Exceptions to this policy are considered and allowed only under very compelling and extraordinary personal circumstances. Contact the Director of Student Residential Life at 628-4245 for more information.

STUDENT RESIDENTIAL LIFE
FHSU students are housed in four traditional residence halls, (Agnew, Custer, McMindes, and Wiest) and 2 apartment complexes (Stadium Place and Wooster Place). Living on campus provides students with a wealth of experiences, many conveniences and opportunities to meet people from around the world. On-campus students have the opportunity to become involved and to make a difference. The Student Residential Life Contract Viewbook, available from the Office of Student Residential Life, 114 Agnew Hall, lists a description of each community or visit our Web site. For more information about our communities, call (785) 628-4245.

GREEK LIFE
The Greek system at FHSU is comprised of three sororities, three fraternities and one fraternal colony. Living in a chapter house is considered approved university housing for freshmen. Greek life provides many opportunities in leadership and friendship with additional emphasis on an academic environment. Fraternities and sororities obtain new members through “recruitment,” a time for students to get acquainted with Greek life. The sororities, governed by the Panhellenic Council, hold formal recruitment at the beginning of the fall semester. Informal recruitment begins after formal recruitment ends and continues throughout the school year. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) governs the fraternities, and also has a recruitment period at the beginning of the fall semester. For information about recruitment and/or specific organizations, contact Student Affairs, 208 Sheridan Hall, or visit the Greek life Web site at www.fhsu.edu/greek.
