![]() GREEK SPEEK PROFESSIONALAn exception is made for "social fraternities and sororities." Phi Mu Alpha received a letter of exemption from Title IX in 1983 in it, the federal Department of Education recognized that Phi Mu Alpha is a social fraternity, not a professional fraternity. It provides that colleges that receive any federal money cannot recognize any organizations that discriminate on the basis of gender. Since we are A "professional women's" music fraternity, then (at UK at least) we are not an officially recognized as a greek organization.Title IX. I have looked into it further, due to some Title Something, if you are a single sex organization, you have to be officially social. And any campus wide activities were "all inclusive" as it were. As such, y'all (nor Tau Beta Sigma) rarely participated in social activates with IFC/NIC/NPC chapters.įor what it is worth, UK didn't do much in the way of homecoming activities the way it is currently at UK. Just not under any of the "social Greek" (for lack of a better identification) umbrella councils. When I was at The University of Kentucky (back in the late '70s early '80s), Sigma Alpha Iota was considered Greek. I am confused about how we are not greek but TBS is, and is it possible for SAI to be greek? She said that it is something about having "women" in the name. I asked our president about it and she said that we don't participate in alot of the things because we aren't actually greek. While looking at the windows I noticed that TBS had done a window and then I wondered why SAI had not. I was talking to our president a few days ago and now I am confused.įor homecoming we have many activities that all of the greek organizations participate in, like paint the town blue, a window painting contest. ![]()
