When planning an event for your organization, it’s important to start by answering a few short questions to know what forms/requirements will be needed to host your event within the event guidelines established by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.
- Does your event date conflict with any OFSL events? – If yes, pick a new date/time that works; your event may not conflict with OFSL programming. You can access the OFSL calendar here.
- SERF forms are required for ALL events. [An event is defined as: any event deemed to be within the scope of a Chapter function, on or off university property that involves a gathering of members and/or guests of the host (or co-host) organization.]
- Is your event on-campus AND have any potentially hazardous elements designated by OSI? – If yes, SAFE Form. If no, proceed to point 4 below.
- Does your event involve alcohol, hosted at a place that serves alcohol, takes place 40 miles from campus, , and/or has any other associated heightened risk?
- If yes, SERF and Supplemental SERF.
- If no, only a SERF is needed. Please note Supplemental SERF Forms can also be required at the discretion of OFSL for event approval.
After determining what forms you might need for your event, please read the procedures surrounding each of the forms below.
