Philosophy (from the DePauw Student Handbook)
The University recognizes student organizations, fraternities, sororities, academic clubs and other extracurricular activities that encourage a spirit of fellowship, cooperation and individual development. University policies and programs are formulated through a process that allows participation by members of all segments of the DePauw community. Student living units and organizations are regarded as part of the educational environment and are considered important to the intellectual and personal growth of the students.

It is common for new groups and organizations to be formed each year and for some to become inactive, depending upon current student interests. Those students interested in organizing a new club, either social, musical, literary or athletic, should contact the Office of Campus Activities regarding the proper procedures.

The establishment or continuation of any student organization is supervised by the Office of Campus Activities. Constitutions and bylaws of proposed student organizations must be approved by the Student Congress.

Aside from fraternities, sororities and organizations operating under established boards, student organizations handling money obtained from the student body are required to operate through the Student Organizations Fund.

The fund, directed by the Office of the Vice President for Finance and Administration, operates without liability to DePauw University in order to provide continuity of financial records and a standard accounting procedure for student organizations.

Further information about any of these student or campus organizations may be obtained from the Office of Campus Activities or from the adviser of the individual organization.
