Campus Hazing Community Reports

About AB524

Sororities and Fraternities have been influential in building community, fostering friendships, service, and leadership. To meet the requirements set by the Campus-Recognized Sorority and Fraternity Transparency Act (AB 524; Sections 66310-66312 of California Education Code), every California institution of higher learning must report information on the recognized fraternities and sororities organization’s academics, service hours, addresses of the chapter homes, mental health services, sanctioned events and their conduct. This is a mandatory report, but we hope it will highlight the Fraternity and Sorority Life community and their contributions as well as show they are responsible campus community members.

Below you will find an annual report of CSUEB's Campus-Recognized Sorority and Fraternity Transparency report.
