Due to ASSU regulations about special fees eligibility, Sigma Nu will be withdrawing its special fees application. In order to qualify for special fees, the ASSU requires that student groups have an “objective selection criteria.” We, as a Greek Organization, are categorized as having a “subjective selection criteria.” While we take some issue with this categorization, we will be abiding by their policy, and thus, discontinuing our pursuit of special fees.

We will keep open the option of contesting these regulations in the future, perhaps with a larger coalition of our Greek peers. We maintain that Greek Organizations provide a substantial social and communal service to Stanford, and hope that funding options such as special fees will be accessible in the future.

Thank you to all of you who supported our petition. We look forward to a great year ahead.

Sincerely,

Michael Terrell’11
Sigma Nu President
