“A.C.T. because you care” is based on the premise that micro-influencers who are easily recognized and relevant to the student population are able to encourage others to engage in well-being behaviors. The project strategy is based on identifying and engaging student influencers to prioritize health and well-being and act accordingly. The core foundation of this project is to build upon the natural influence that peers can have on each other. Thus, the curriculum teaches influencers well-being skills and intervention methods for emergency situations. Influencers can develop the skills to prevent harmful substance use behaviors and learn communication skills to foster supportive communities. Furthermore, the influencer training provides information on substance misuse and intervention strategies for substance misuse.

This training is going to be offered throughout the Fall 2024 semester in the Fraternity and Sorority Life's (FSL) Multi-purpose room (MPR). The audience for these Fall semester trainings should be initiated members. Chapters under 50 members will send 2 members, and Chapters over 50 will send 4 members. It is preferred that 1 officer attend one session.

Safe Event and Sober Monitor Training is facilitated multiple times a semester by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. The training reviews and teaches UCF and FSL event guidelines and policies, best practices for events (with and without alcohol), and how to be an effective sober monitor.

Chapter leadership and members are both required to attend these trainings in order to host events with alcohol. Beginning Fall 2024, in order for ANY event (dry or wet) to be approved, 25% of ALL organizations must complete Safe Event and Sober Monitor Training. If you completed this training during the Fall 2023 semester, you will need to complete this training during the Fall 2024 semester. 

The Safe Event and Sober Monitor Trainings are facilitated over Zoom. The Zoom limit is 300 attendees per session, so we encourage your entire chapter to be SE&SM trained in hopes to reach 100% of our members.

Based on a new framework developed by Student Success and Wellbeing, BEAM: A Framework for Student Thriving, this program is designed to identify, incorporate, and encourage high ideals, principles, and standards that are critical to the success of each organization and its members. The four interconnected guiding domains of the framework are: Belonging, Engaging, Achieving, and Meaning.

In addition to complying with all applicable University rules, regulations, policies, and procedures, social fraternities and sororities at UCF are expected to maintain a level of Good Standing by achieving the necessary requirements contained in the Standards of Excellence.


Program Outcomes

Chapters who participate in the Standards of Excellence program will be able to:

  • Clarify member experiences within an organization.
  • Select the opportunities that appeal to the organization’s members.
  • Demonstrate outstanding behaviors that align with one or more of the domains in BEAM.
  • Provide documents to FSL by the required deadline.
  • Summarize expectations of being a member of the UCF Greek Community and SSWB.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to UCF Greek Community and SSWB.

Benefits

  • Provided support from FSL to National/International organizations.

  • Unable to provide support for chapters to National/International organizations.
  • Working with Chapter Coach to develop Performance Improvement Plan.
  • Limited events approved during following year.

For a link to the SOE webcourse for your chapter or any additional questions, please email OFSL at ucfgreek@ucf.edu. The last day to submit all Standards of Excellence Items (BEAM) is December 12th, 2024, by 5 pm. 


Scoring

Standards of Excellence will be based on a point system this year. Each item completed by the chapter will earn a certain number of points. At the end of the 2024 year, the amount of earned points will equal the star rating for the chapter.


Standard of Excellence Document


Events

Before planning any events, your organization needs to be a Registered Student Organization (RSO) through the Office of Student Involvement (OSI). You can view your organization’s registration status via KnightConnect.

If your organization is not registered through OSI, your organization’s president can register here. Note that two (2) designated officers need to score an 80 or above on OSI’s RSO Authorized Officer Orientation before re-registration takes place.

When planning an event for your organization, it’s important to start by answering a few short questions to know what forms/requirements will be needed to host your event within the event guidelines established by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

  1. Does your event date conflict with any OFSL events? – If yes, pick a new date/time that works; your event may not conflict with OFSL programming. You can access the OFSL calendar here.
  2. SERF forms are required for ALL events. [An event is defined as: any event deemed to be within the scope of a Chapter function, on or off university property that involves a gathering of members and/or guests of the host (or co-host) organization.]
  3. Is your event on-campus AND have any potentially hazardous elements designated by OSI? – If yes, SAFE Form. If no, proceed to point 4 below.
  4. Does your event involve alcohol, hosted at a place that serves alcohol, takes place 40 miles from campus, , and/or has any other associated heightened risk?
    • If yes, SERF and Supplemental SERF.
    • If no, only a SERF is needed. Please note Supplemental SERF Forms can also be required at the discretion of OFSL for event approval.

After determining what forms you might need for your event, please read the procedures surrounding each of the forms below.

For full event guidelines, policies, and procedures click here.

Event Approval Flow Chart

A moratorium is a temporary prohibition of an activity. The moratorium periods used by Fraternity and Sorority Life are implemented during time in the academic term/year when student members’ primary focus should be their academics, in between terms, throughout the summer terms, during University closures, etc. Moratorium dates will be listed on the OFSL calendar.

There are three levels of moratorium:

Level 1: Chapters cannot host/co-host any events during Level I moratorium.

Level 2: Chapters can only host/co-host educational/academic and/or service events that do not involve alcohol during Level 2 moratorium. Other “dry” events that don’t not fall into the above categories would need to get written approval from OFSL.

Level 3: Chapters can only host/co-host events that do not involve alcohol during Level 3 moratorium.

Any fraternity and sorority event with alcohol must be registered and reviewed by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life (OFSL). All events must be registered through the SERF, Sup SERF, and/or SAFE systems.

Sober Monitors are required for all events with alcohol. Sober Monitors must complete Sober Monitor Training and your host/co-host event must have at least a 20:1 guest-to-member ratio (adding an additional monitor for every 25 attendees after 50). Sober monitors should be a cross-section of membership.

Full details and procedures on registering an event with alcohol can be found in "FSL Event Guidelines- Fall 2024" under "Event Forms and Policies" below.

If you need to reserve the FSL Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) for any of your events, please email our main email account Jax Rogero  (Jillian.Rogero@ucf.edu) and "cc" (ucfgreek@ucf.edu) AND your assigned Chapter Coach with your request. In your email, please add the following information:

  • Chapter/Council
  • Purpose of the Event
  • Person requesting - (full name, organization, UCF email address and reachable phone number)
  • Day(s) and Date(s)
  • Beginning and End Time
  • Estimated number of attendees - (please note the room capacity is 50 which is strictly enforced)
  • Will you need after-hour access?
    • If so, when do you plan on picking up an access key?

If your meeting is after 5 PM on weekdays or during the weekends, make sure you make arrangements to sign out and collect the key card from the front desk to enter the building during the OSFL scheduled hours of operation. Please return key card within 24 hours of the conclusion of your event or the next business day (if your reservation falls on the weekend).

To submit a reservation request please click here to generate a reservation email.

Multi-purpose Room Policies

  • Room capacity is 50 persons
  • Food and beverages are allowed in the MPR, but be sure to remove all food and other items from the room after the event
  • Reservations will be accepted until 9:00 PM and the event must conclude by 11:59 PM
  • Return the room to the layout it was in prior to the event

Failure to adhere to these policies may result in the removal of reservation privileges or fines. 

SERF Form

SERF Forms, or Social Event Registration Forms, notify OFSL and Advisors that an organization is holding an event. SERFs must be submitted no less than 15 calendar days in advance. In order for a SERF to be approved, it will need a virtual signature/approval from your organization’s Chapter/Alumni Advisor, President, Social Chair, and Faculty Advisor no less than 10 calendar days before the event. Failure to complete these steps by the deadlines could result in a late fee or event denial. SERF submissions will not be deemed submitted in their entirety until both the SERF and the Supplemental SERF are submitted (when applicable).

SAFE Form

SAFE Forms, or Safety Action For Event, are designed to keep the university SAFE. SAFE Forms must be submitted online no less than 15 days prior to the on-campus event.  There are no exceptions to this deadline.  SAFE forms are approved by OSI and several other university offices, so it can take longer than 15 days to approve. For more SAFE Form policies and guidelines, please click here.

Supplemental SERF Form

The Supplemental SERF Form is designed to build an organization’s risk management plan for events that include potential high-risk elements. Supplemental SERF Forms are required for events involving alcohol, taking place at a venue that serves alcohol, any overnight event, any event further than 40 miles from main campus, and/or has any other associated heightened risk. Supplemental SERF Forms can also be required at the discretion of OFSL for event approval. The Supplemental SERF must be submitted by the respective deadlines as well; which is no less than 15 calendar days before the event.

** As outlined in the FSL handbook, any organization that sponsors an unregistered event may be assessed a fine and may be placed on a “Prohibitive Standing” by FSL for an amount of time that is to be determined. Additional disciplinary actions may be taken by the Office of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity (SCAI). ** 


Links to all event forms can be found under "Event Forms and Policies" on the Member Resource page, on the OFSL Instagram in the bio link, and in the semesterly Officer webcourse.
