Individual organizations may have additional contracts or addenda separate from the University contract. Please make sure that both contracts are read and discussed fully prior to signing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A sorority or fraternity housing contract is a fall and spring contract unless you have special permission to live there only for one semester. The housing contract is binding, just like a residence hall contract or a lease, so be sure you agree to the length of the contract before you sign. In order to live in a sorority or fraternity house, you must maintain enrollment at UT and remain in good standing with your sorority or fraternity.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> First-year students are not allowed to move into a fraternity or sorority house for any reason.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Meal Plans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sororities and fraternities with a housing facility may have a meal plan associated with both the facility residents and non-residents. All undergraduate students (those who take 6 or more credit hours) are required to be enrolled in a University meal plan. Meal plans provided through a sorority or fraternity will count as a University meal plan and may be charged through a student&#8217;s MyUTK account. If an individual organization chooses not to provide a meal plan or an individual member does not enroll in their organization&#8217;s meal plan, they will be automatically enrolled in a $300 Flex Plan. This is consistent for students living on or off-campus.<\/p>\n<p>Sororities and fraternities may also charge for meal plans through their individual organizational billing, which is not linked to MyUTK. If you have questions about a meal plan charge from a fraternity or sorority that is not through MyUTK, those questions can be directed to the specific individual chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Questions about sorority and fraternity meal plan charges through a student&#8217;s MyUTK account can be directed to the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life at 865-974-2236.<\/p>\n<p>Questions regarding additional University meal plans may be directed to <a href=\"https:\/\/dining.utk.edu\/\">Vol Dining.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"orange-mark\">Housing Resources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/studentlife.utk.edu\/gogreek\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/02\/OSFL-Housing-Policies-FINAL-2.6.25.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OSFL Housing Policies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/studentlife.utk.edu\/gogreek\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/08\/Final-Fire-Drill-and-Building-Inspection-Policy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fire Drill and Building Inspection Policy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/studentlife.utk.edu\/gogreek\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/08\/2021-2022-House-Director-Resource-Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2021-2022 House Director Resource Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/studentlife.utk.edu\/gogreek\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/06\/Finance-Breakdown-2024.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Community Financial Breakdown<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/parking.utk.edu\/parking\/student\/\">Sorority &amp; Fraternity Parking Permits<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/studentlife.utk.edu\/gogreek\/request\/\">Request Form (Maintenance and Enrichment Fund)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The majority of UT&#8217;s sorority and fraternity houses are freestanding houses located on university property.
