    Purpose of the Greek Judicial Board

    The responsibility of holding organizations accountable for their actions in selected cases has been given to the Greek Judicial Board with the idea that self governance is the healthiest form of accountability. The UL Lafayette Greek Judicial Board offers students the opportunity to develop self-discipline and responsibility in coordination with their peers. This Board allows students and fraternities/sororities to be aware of University policies and their impact on the campus and themselves. The Board also allows students serving, the opportunity to handle the responsibilities of adjudicating violations of selected campus policies.


    The sanctions that follow a group being found in violation are not intended to punish, but to educate. This allows the involved student(s) an opportunity to understand the consequences of their behavior, foster respect for the rights of others, and encourages self-discipline. All members of the Greek Judicial Board should strive to discover the educational significance of the Board’s actions.


    The purpose of this Board shall be to evaluate and address complaints involving an alleged infraction of the Code of Student Conduct, violations of Student Organization policies, and in Article VIII, Section 1 of the Greek Judicial Board Bylaws.
