Hazing and Student Safety
Student safety and well-being are our top priorities. Hazing is a violation of Texas law, the ÃÛÌÒ½´Student Code of Conduct, and the inter/national policies for each of our fraternities and sororities. Report possible hazing activity through the or send an anonymous text to 205-TXT2SMU.
As a reminder for those going through recruitment, only the organizations listed on this website are officially recognized and sanctioned by ÃÛÌÒ½´and their respective Councils and therefore able to participate in SMU’s recruitment process and offer the benefits of the ÃÛÌÒ½´Greek community to their members.
The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has received several reports of organized activities and recruitment by social groups who are not affiliated with ÃÛÌÒ½´or the Greek community, including a group self-identifying as the “Theta Society,” and/or “The Society” despite the ÃÛÌÒ½´chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta’s suspension from campus earlier this year. To be clear, the local Beta Sigma chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta is suspended through at least January 15, 2026, and is not recognized or sanctioned as an active organization at ÃÛÌÒ½´by the Panhellenic Council, Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity, Inc., or SMU.
We want all ÃÛÌÒ½´students interested in joining the ÃÛÌÒ½´Greek community to be aware of their options and clear about the status of each chapter. Unrecognized student organizations may place individuals associated with their events or activities at risk due to the lack of affiliation with and oversight by an established national-level council or governing body. For additional information, you may review a complete listing of Student Organization Conduct Status at SMU.
If you are interested in joining the ÃÛÌÒ½´Greek community, we invite you to learn more about the numerous, vibrant chapters across our four councils. If you have any questions regarding your Greek recruitment options, please do not hesitate to contact our office directly.
