Recognition PolicyOSFL Website

Every semester, the President of each recognized Sorority and Fraternity is asked to read, review, and submit a signature on behalf of the chapter as an acknowledgement that this policy exists and that they are aware of its stipulations.

Certificates of InsuranceExample on OSFL WebsiteEvery sorority or fraternity MUST have a valid certificate of insurance that meets the University's stated requirements on file with OSFL. If you do not have this document on file, your sorority or fraternity recognition will be suspended .

Work with your national sorority or fraternity to procure the COI. Remember that if you do not follow the stated rules of your national organization, Cornell, and local, state, and federal law, the COI does notprovide you coverage.

Members and their parents, group leaders/advisors, as well as their organization and national affiliates may be sued in civil court for mental or physical harm that results from hazing and any other policy violation. Hazing on college campuses has resulted in numerous successful lawsuits.
