Protecting Freedom of Association Rights
Freedom of Association is of paramount importance for Greek organizations and its members.
Freedom of Association is of paramount importance for Greek organizations and its members. Without the right to associate with a single-sex organization, students would be unable to benefit from the numerous opportunities and experiences that fraternity and sorority life provides. FSPAC supports both the Freedom of Association in Higher Education Act (H.R. 2451) and the Collegiate Freedom of Association Act (H.R. 1626) to protect association rights of over 400,000 Greek college students nationally.
Tax Disparity Leaves Fraternities & Sororities at a Disadvantage
Since 2003, FSPAC has championed the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act (CHIA) (H.R. 2662 / S. 1420). CHIA allows 501(c)(3) organizations, like fraternities and sororities, to use tax-deductible donations to build and maintain student housing in the same manner as properties owned and operated by universities. Currently, the tax code only allows colleges and universities to use deductible donations for student housing improvements. This disparity leaves fraternities and sororities at a disadvantage in providing the best quality living experience for its members.
Working to End Hazing in All Forms
As members of the Greek community, we are committed to being part of the solution and ending hazing in all forms. This commitment includes advocating for legislation on the state and federal level as well as supporting the Anti-Hazing Coalition’s mission. Students and alumni spoke to congressional offices in April during the Fraternal Government Relations Coalition (FGRC) Hill Day about hazing prevention legislation that is in the process of being introduced for this Congress.
