Phase 1: A committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students will determine whether it is
an appropriate time for the university to open for expansion/reactivation. The committee
will determine whether it opens or not for fraternity or sorority expansion, broadly,
or within a specific council. The decision of the committee will be reflected on the
expansion/reactivation page for the given semester.
Phase 2: All submissions must be delivered via email to sbufsl@stonybrook.edu. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis by the expansion/reactivation committee.
Organizations will be notified if they will proceed to the next phase. Please note
that all information requested in our recognition policy must be submitted for full
consideration. Applications received after the required date will not be accepted.
Phase 3: Organizations invited to campus will participate in a half-day interview. The on-campus
interview will consist of an overview and debrief of the day, a presentation hosted
by the organization open to the campus community with a Q&A, an interview with Student
Life and Fraternity and Sorority Life Senior Leadership, and optional opportunities
for a campus tour and tabling in one of our campus life centers.
Phase 4: The committee members will submit their recommendations to the chair of the committee.
Organizations invited to join the Stony Brook community will work alongside Fraternity
and Sorority Life to determine an appropriate timeline for integration into the fraternity
and sorority community. Organizations not invited to join after their interview and
presentation (Phase 3) will have the opportunity to meet with the chair of the committee
to receive feedback.
