Sophomore Success Program Exemption Process (SSPEP)

Students who joined a social fraternity or sorority during the Fall semester can request to live in the chapter facility during their sophomore year; however, both the student and the chapter must meet specific requirements in the Fall semester in order to be eligible for this exemption process.

Individual Requirements: 
The student must have a Fall semester and total GPA at or above 2.80 and be in good standing with the university. This means they cannot be on academic probation/disqualification or judicial probation. Clarification: Rounding GPA figures does not occur. 

Organizational Requirements:
The fraternity or sorority chapter must acquire a minimum of "accredited" status on their Greek Accreditation evaluation for the Fall semester and have a Fall semester and total GPA at or above 2.80. Clarification: Rounding GPA figures does not occur. 

Process:

  • Students interested in being a resident of their respective fraternity or sorority chapter facility starting fall during their sophomore year must individually submit their interest to the Pierce Greek Life Center Advisory Team via the FSL Exemption Request Google Form. This form is not the full exemption request. The Pierce Greek Life Center Advisory Team will route (via AdobeSign) the Letter of Intent and Contract Release Request to all individuals that need to initial or sign this document within 5 business days of receiving the Google Form entry.
  • The routed Letter of Intent and Contract Release Request (electronic, 3-page document) must be electronically signed by the individual student, parent or guardian, and chapter advisor.
  • Students and chapters will be notified of eligibility.

The FSL Sophomore Success Program Exemption Process (SSPEP) is a chapter and member driven process. That said, the chapter is expected to send the information above to all first year, Fall new members who are interested in exploring the Sophomore Success Program Exemption Process. 

The 2022-20223 SSPEP for exemption in the 2023-2024 academic year is now closed. Information for the 2024-2025 academic year will be shared with chapters during the Fall 2023 semester.
