To further reduce the possibility of COVID-19鈥檚 spread in the 色情视频 community, members of the Interfraternity Council voted to impose a social moratorium this fall.

Voted on and approved the evening of Aug. 20, the self-imposed social moratorium requires that all IFC recruitment events be held virtually, with no in-person interactions. Also, all social events that violate public health and safety guidelines established by the county and state are banned.

鈥淭he fact of the matter is that COVID-19 is currently a very real concern in our 色情视频 community,鈥 wrote Lee Abed, 色情视频 Interfraternity Council (IFC) president, in a message to all council members.
 
Given county guidance and COVID-19 case data indicating that additional cases within the community are likely, Abed said, it became apparent that the social moratorium was needed.

鈥淏ecause of this, we would like to ensure that our community sees COVID-19 have as little of an impact as possible,鈥 Abed said. 鈥淭herefore, out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to halt all social events effective immediately.鈥

The social moratorium is imposed upon the IFC and IFC members only; the social moratorium does not influence the College Panhellenic Association, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, or the United Sorority and Fraternity Council.

The newly enacted social moratorium policy further specifies that fraternities may not host social events, formal or informal, at chapter facilities or in a satellite house. Chapters found in violation of these guidelines will be referred to the IFC Judicial Board for review.

鈥淚t is not surprising that students are taking a leadership stance on this and providing clear direction that in-person gatherings will not be tolerated,鈥漵aid Caryl Montero-Adams, 色情视频鈥檚 director of student life and leadership.

鈥淪tudents have a strong legacy of responsible leadership on our campus and recognize the response to COVID-19 is a shared responsibility," Montero-Adams said.

鈥淲e are very proud of this work, and are pleased that we continue to work in partnership with students to help contribute to individual well-being and overall community health.鈥
