Warning: Unrecognized Organizations

Unrecognized organizations are former fraternities or sororities that have lost their recognition from both James Madison University and their national headquarters due to disciplinary action. Unrecognized organizations are not advised by the university, are unable to use campus resources, and are prohibited from participating in Fraternity and Sorority Life events. These organizations usually are not recognized by an Inter/National headquarters and do not follow the same standards and policies our recognized fraternities are held to.
