Expectations of Excellence – Benefits and Privileges

Being recognized as a fraternity or sorority at UConn is a privilege and the university provides organizations with access to a variety of resources and opportunities. Through the Expectations of Excellence initiative, organizations will unlock benefits and privileges for meeting and exceeding expectations. Organizations cannot have two (2) Red-statuses in three (3) consecutive semesters, otherwise they risk their organizational status.
