A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

In spring 2004, in an extensive, campus-wide process.  The University of Tulsa Student Association developed and adopted a statement of student commitment and a corresponding pledge to express our commitment to the University and its mission.  These statements were accepted by the Board of Trustees.  It reads:

Student Commitment

We, the students of The University of Tulsa, support the university’s virtues of wisdom, faith and service by affirming that:
We strive for excellence in the pursuit of wisdom by encouraging free and open inquiry which is fundamental to the pursuit of knowledge, preserving our academic integrity by maintaining the highest ethical standards in our studies, and valuing the relationships with our professors who provide a rich learning environment.

We acknowledge the university’s foundation on a faith in God and respect the faith traditions of all individuals.

We seek opportunities for service to benefit the university and the Tulsa community as an expression of appreciation toward those who facilitate and support our education and student community.

In all we do, we seek to strengthen our community by promising to stand against behaviors and actions that breach this pledge and demean others in the campus community – students, faculty, staff, and visitors.  Through our contributions we will endeavor to leave The University of Tulsa a better community than when we entered it.

Student Pledge

As a student of The University of Tulsa, I pledge to strive for excellence in the pursuit of wisdom, to acknowledge the university’s foundation on a faith in God while respecting the faith traditions of all individuals, and to be of service to others in accordance with the ideals set forth in the Student Commitment.

Expectations Statement
Guiding the Relationship Between The University of Tulsa and its Student Organizations
    At The University of Tulsa, students govern their organizations with minimal administration intrusion, but staff members are available who provide guidance, advice, direction, and support to officers and members. Through the Division of Enrollment and Student Services, the University annually allocates a significant amount of money to the Student Association to support its campus-wide programming efforts. Additionally, in spring 1995, students passed a resolution assessing themselves a student activity fee. These funds are in turn allocated by the Student Association through the Student Activities Board (SAB) to support the programs and activities of student organizations that meet the requirements of the SA constitution and bylaws and are recognized by the Student Activities Board.
   High expectations are held for the manner in which students manage the business of their organizations. The items below clarify these expectations.

Officers and members of University of Tulsa student organizations are expected to:
1)    recognize their obligations to be positive representatives of TU in all their activities and programs;
2)    conduct their fiscal affairs in accordance with University policies and procedures;
3)    follow sound business practices, and meet their fiscal obligations in a timely fashion;
4)    follow established procedures for adhering to SAB and Student Association standards, policies, and
       procedures;

       unfavorable light;
7)    establish and maintain an effective working relationship with the staff members in the Office of Student
       Affairs.

   The National Greek organizations with chapters at TU have a special relationship with the University. Specifically, fraternities and sororities are subject to the rules, regulations, and oversight of their national organizations and officers. Additionally, fraternities and sororities, through their house corporation boards, are responsible for maintaining the chapter houses. Sororities have partial responsibility while fraternities have full responsibility for the upkeep of their houses. The University holds the following expectations for fraternities and sororities in addition to those listed above.

Officers and members of The University of Tulsa's national social and service fraternities and sororities are expected to:
1)    adhere to all national/international organization policies in order to maintain their campus charter;

       contact name, address, and telephone number from this corporation to the Office of Student Affairs;
3)    allow only students enrolled at TU to reside in chapter housing; 
4)    maintain the exterior of the chapter house and lawn so as to present an attractive, clean, welcoming
       appearance;
5)    maintain the interior of the chapter house in accordance with fire, health, safety, and local building
       codes;
6)    be members in good standing of one of the recognized governing bodies in the Greek Community:
       Interfraternity Council or the Panhellenic Council; 
7)    establish and maintain alumni/alumnae support for the purpose of providing continuity, stability,
       information, training, leadership, business expertise, and maturity; and annually provide one contact
       name, address, and telephone number to the Office of Student Affairs.

The officers and members of SAB-recognized organizations expect The University of Tulsa administration to:
1)    support a strong system of student organizations and groups to meet the needs and interests of the
       campus community;
2)    recognize and support student self-government in the operations of student organizations and groups
       that are recognized by the Student Activities Board of the Student Association;
3)    support campus programs and events through funding to the Student Association from the University's
       annual operating budget;
4)    through the Office of Student Affairs/Dean of Students, provide advising, support, guidance, and direction
       to officers and members of student organizations.

In addition to the above, the members of the national service and social fraternities and sororities expect The University of Tulsa administration to:
1)    include the on-campus chapter houses as housing options in the materials sent to prospective and
       current students;
2)    make available to active chapters the names and addresses of students who have paid their admission
       deposits to the University to assist the chapters in their Rush process;
3)    encourage and foster communication between the local active chapters, the governing organizations (IFC
       and Panhellenic), and the administration;
4)    through the office of Student Affairs, identify an individual to serve as Greek Advisor to provide advising,
       guidance, support, and direction to officers, members, and alumni advisors;
5)    assist the officers of Panhellenic and the Interfraternity Council with an annual review and assessment of
       the Rush process and the progress of the Greek system and its relationship to The University of Tulsa.

We are unique in that our intent is not to "mold" a man but to give him the opportunity to improve himself and to enhance those positive qualities already inherent in his character. Diversity, both scholastically and culturally, is our key to campus leadership, where men from four different countries and a variety of academic majors comprise the Kappa Alpha roster. Our outstanding reputation on campus is also linked to our commitment to community service, intramural sports, and a unique social calendar filled with sorority mixers, dances, and unrivaled annual theme parties.

We have the largest membership of any fraternity on campus, and with this comes excellent representation in all areas of the school. Kappa Sigma brothers are very active and hold many positions in honor societies such as Mortar Board, Tau Beta Pi, and Omicron Delta Kappa. We consistently have brothers named Top-Ten Freshmen and Top-Ten Seniors and we believe this is strongly related to our commitment to academics. This commitment is evidenced by our unwavering ranking at or near the pinnacle of campus and Greek G.P.A. lists. With all this, we still remember to have a good time and make sure to pack our social calendar with activities unmatched in quantity or quality. In the national perspective, Kappa Sigma is among the elite of fraternities, and we at TU boast 10 consecutive Founder's Awards of Chapter Excellence - more than any other chapter in the nation. Kappa Sigma's are men of honor, tradition, and excellence, providing not only for a meaningful and rewarding experience for your collegiate years, but also for life.
