Chapter Advisors

Keene State College recognizes co-curricular activities as vital to the mission of the College and the personal development of its students. Belonging to a student organization can be a great step in student development. In order to facilitate that growth, all student organizations are required to have an advisor who is a full-time member of the College staff or faculty. Advisors assist the organizations in interpreting College requirements and regulations and help members in planning events and projects for the year.

  • All fraternities and sororities will be advised by individuals who have the skills and information necessary to advocate for fraternities and sororities and to advise them on College and chapter policies and practices.
  • Advisors to fraternities and sororities will have access to all information on chapter finances.
  • Advisors to fraternities and sororities will have access to all information on chapter new member education.
  • Advisors will be required to sign an advisor commitment form that elaborates on expectations and responsibilities throughout the year.
