Student Organization Conduct

In compliance with the Tucker Hipps Transparency Law and with an expectation of overall transparency for organizational conduct at the College of Charleston, information regarding all Registered Organizations’ conduct violations specific to alcohol, drugs, hazing, sexual assault and physical assault can be found below. 

For organizations to enjoy certain rights and privileges they must be registered with the College of Charleston.

The College’s Statement on Unregistered Organizations provides the expectations around having a registered status.

Registered organizations can be found through the Office of Student Involvement.

Statement on Unregistered Organizations

An organization, regardless of national affiliation, that is not registered through the College of Charleston, is considered an unregistered organization. Unregistered organizations are not affiliated with the College of Charleston and do not enjoy the rights and privileges of registered organizations. They do not receive support, advisement, funding or management from the College of Charleston, and do not follow the College’s code of conduct and Risk Management Policies. At one time, these organizations may have been registered, but violations of the College policy may have resulted in their loss of recognition.

In addition to subjecting themselves to risky behaviors, students who join unregistered organizations will not have access to the privileges that members of registered organizations can enjoy. This could include (but is not limited to): leadership development opportunities, reserving space on campus, access to funding through the College, and the ability to represent the organization at College sponsored programs and events (Orientation, Accepted Students Weekend, etc.). Registered Organizations are prohibited from affiliating and socializing with unregistered organizations. This includes co-hosting events either on or off campus.

The following organizations are currently unable to have a registered status with the College of Charleston:

Alpha Epsilon Pi

Sigma Alpha Epsilon
