Failure to submit the constitution in complete compliance will result in the loss of all privileges and benefits the organizations receives for being registered on campus. This includes participating in campus events, reserving campus facilities, receiving activity fee funding, using USC mail distribution, using USC e-mail accounts and using “The University of South Carolina” as part of the organization’s name. While an organization that doesn’t comply will not be allowed to use USC as a part of its name, it can still say they are located at USC. Greek organizations, excluding honor societies, do not have to follow the revision because of Title IX laws. Comments on this story?
