LSU Director of Greek Life Angela Guillory told Greek chapter presidents and advisers that some Greek Life activities would resume Sunday, Sept. 24 in a letter sent Thursday night.
The memo said the activities to be reinstated would include philanthropy, community service events, fundraisers, blood drives, intramurals events and meal service at the houses including new members without meal plans.
Activities that can be approved by the Office of Greek Life include risk management education workshops (to include hazing, alcohol, drugs and sexual misconduct re-education) and chapter judicial meetings as needed.
All University-sponsored Homecoming events will be allowed to resume Sunday, including the banner competition and food drive and field games. The Office of Greek Life also approved the Greek Board of Director’s Homecoming event to include Lawn Decorations and any previously-planned chapter-specific parent/family/alumni events at chapter houses.
Events with alcohol must have been pre-approved by LSUPD via TigerLink 10 days prior to the event.
Tailgating will still be suspended for Sept. 23, but will resume Sept. 30. The University will issue new Student Organization Tailgate Procedures. The new procedures will require all student organizations wishing to tailgate on the Parade Ground register on TigerLink, not provide common source alcohol, not have a tent larger than 10’x10′, not have furniture of any kind and not set up before 8 a.m. on gameday. Registered events on TigerLink at chapter houses must also adhere to all applicable rules.
Events that will remain suspended on Sept. 24 include retreats, meetings, service project participation or other gatherings, pinning or initiation ceremonies, self-organized new member activities, Greek Board of Directors events, Greek Leadership Institute events, council or chapter meetings, chapter events, game day banners, study groups, on-call/designated driver programs, organized chapter clean-ups, bus trips, exchanges, GRUBs, semi formals, formals, dance/step practices, Founder’s day, participation in alumni events and any on/off campus programs and socials or assessment workshops unless the topic is hazing, alcohol, drug or sexual misconduct.
