During this period of suspension, the organization agrees to cease all operations including, but not limited to, recruitment or intake activities, meetings, philanthropy or service events, and social functions.

Terminated Student Organizations 

According to the terms of student organization operating agreements, the University of Virginia may terminate its relationship with an organization with or without cause. The following student organizations once had an active operating agreement with the University but lost that agreement for serious violation(s) of the University’s Standards of Conduct. Despite termination for disciplinary reasons, some of these groups continue to operate independently of the University (i.e., “underground”). Terminated organizations do not receive any resources, support, or advising from the University, nor may they participate in any University-sponsored activities or utilize any property owned, operated, leased, or managed by the University of Virginia. The University no longer has a relationship with these organizations.

We strongly urge students and parents to carefully consider the safety risks of potential involvement in any terminated organization that may continue to operate.
