Compel students to mandatorily declare in their college application forms if they are members of a fraternity or sorority, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri proposed. | DFernandezINQ
With the declaration form, Zubiri said that learning institutions will have knowledge if the student is part of a fraternity or sorority and will have grounds to suspend or expel the student who may got into trouble.
Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges legal counsel Luzviminda Rosales and Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities legal staff Maya Jajalla welcomed Zubiri’s suggestion. “I think that would be of great help to the universities so that we will have knowledge whether there are students who are actually members of community-based fraternities,” Rosales said, noting that universities are “at a lost” at times on the fraternity or sorority membership status of students.
“The suggestion of Senator Zubiri is helpful because then the schools, our member schools who do not recognize school-based fraternities can know who are members of community-based fraternities,” Jajalla, for her part, noted.
