Transylvania Panhellenic Code of Ethics
We, the Greek women of Transylvania University, in order to create a harmonious Panhellenic community, agree to uphold the unanimous agreements of the National Panhellenic Council, the Rush guidelines set by our university, and the following honorable convictions in all thoughts, words, and actions at all times.
INTEGRITY
We agree to firmly adhere to this code and to take personal responsibility for our sororities and ourselves. We will consider our own sororities’ guiding ideals, regard others in the same way we would wish to be regarded, and maintain a balance between Greek life and scholarship.
UNITY
We strive for more cooperation and less competition. We want to create a less stressful climate, one free from undue pressure. We will have pride in our individual sorority, but more importantly in the Greek system as a whole, recognizing every sorority’s accomplishments and achievements. The Panhellenic spirit will be reaffirming, enriching, contagious, and exciting.
EQUALITY
We agree that because the choice to join a sorority is an individual, personal decision, no one sorority is superior or deserving of preferential treatment. This equality should foster support and cooperation among the existing sororities, creating a family in Panhellenic spirit.
RESPECT
Through friendly consideration, every individual will make thoughtful, responsible, and mature judgments regarding relations with potential new members, sororities as a whole, sorority members, and those who choose to remain unaffiliated.
HONESTY
We agree to follow the ideals of this code with sincerity and concern, understanding that even a seemingly harmless deception or embellishment leads to serious repercussions. We will bear in mind the destructiveness of rumors and attempt to eliminate these dangers.
TRUST
Most importantly, we will all have faith in each other’s given word and believe that we are all striving to uphold these, our convictions. Through trust, we will have less pressure and more freedom. We will be confident that all of us are agents of these six convictions.
