Barely a month after recruiting new members and just as the 2013 Greek season begins, the brothers of Alpha Chi Rho lost recognition at Temple. Alpha Chi Rho will join the ranks of other unrecognized and unendorsed Greek organizations on campus, Phi Kappa Sigma and Zeta Beta Tau.

Though unable to discuss the details behind Temple’s decision to no longer recognize Alpha Chi Rho, Interim Director of Student Affairs, Chris Carey said “[Temple has] expectations for how our recognized organizations positively contribute to the university, the fraternity and sorority community, and the surrounding neighborhoods.”

Unrecognized organizations lose their ability to hold social events with recognized Greek organizations, cannot work with National Pan-hellenic Council, the Panhellenic Council nor the Interfraternity Council. They also lose their access to school resources and other Greek activities.

Representatives for Alpha Chi Rho could not be reached for comment.
