AB-524 & Beyond

New California Law AB-524: What Universities Need to Know About Greek Organization Compliance


California's Assembly Bill 524 (AB-524) has introduced significant changes to how universities must oversee and manage their fraternity and sorority organizations. As institutions prepare to implement these new requirements, understanding the implications and having the right support systems in place is crucial.


Key Changes for Greek Organizations

Under AB-524, California universities now face enhanced responsibilities regarding their Greek life programs. The law mandates several new requirements:

  • Universities must maintain publicly accessible websites containing data about student organizations, including Greek life

  • Detailed reporting of conduct violations and disciplinary actions

  • Regular updates on chapter status and membership information

  • Transparency regarding organizational policies and procedures

  • Historical records of incidents and investigations


Impact on University Administration

These new requirements create additional administrative responsibilities for universities, requiring them to:

  • Establish new documentation processes

  • Implement regular reporting mechanisms

  • Maintain updated public-facing information systems

  • Create standardized procedures for data collection

  • Ensure compliance across all Greek organizations
