| The Fay Corey Union serves as the center for the College’s activities and conferences. The facility houses meeting rooms, offices for student organizations, study lounges, and the Campus Activities and Corey Union Office as well as the offices for Judicial Affairs, Multicultural Life, and the Vice President for Student Affairs. It also contains the all-purpose Function Room with a seating capacity of up to 800.
Corey Union also houses the Student Voice Office: a drop-in center and a location for multicultural programming. Other Corey Union services include an Information Center, the College Duplicating Center, a snack bar and pizzeria, Dunkin' Donuts and Subway. The Student Government Association (SGA) is also based in the Union. SGA is responsible for student governance, student rights and programs, and the allocation of the mandatory student activity fee (MAF).
The Campus Activities and Corey Union Office is a resource to more than 80 clubs and organizations. Other SGA groups include the Black Student Union (BSU), Ranbow Alliance, P.O.W.E.R, the Dragon Chronicle, and WSUC-FM just to name a few. The Student Activities Board (SAB) is the largest student programming club on campus and is also located in Corey Union.
Also, the College recognizes four sororities (Alpha Phi, Delta Phi Epsilon, Nu Sigma Chi, and Sigma Delta Tau), four fraternities (Delta Chi, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Upsilon Lambda and Pi Kappa Phi), and one co-educational service fraternity (Alpha Phi Omega). First semester first year students are not eligible to join any of the recognized fraternal organizations and all prospective new members must meet specific academic requirements.
In addition to providing opportunities to develop personal and leadership skills, the Campus Activities and Corey Union Office and the SGA provide students with information and services to help them meet the unique challenges and opportunities of off-campus living. The office provides a campus calendar for the College community and a list of off-campus housing opportunities. SUNY Cortland does not inspect, endorse or approve any of the properties contained on this housing list. Be sure to look at our Off-Campus Living booklet. Hard copies are also available. Other free resources available in the office include:
Tenant's Rights Guide Issued by the NYS Attorney General's Office
A Guide to Small Claims In The NYS City, Town and Village Courts Issued by the NYS Unified Court System
Fair Housing Is For Everyone Issued by the City of Cortland's Office of Community Development
Also available for students to look at is a copy of the 2004 Housing Evaluation book that was compiled by NYPIRG and the Student Government Association. Check out what your peers have to say about both landlords and properties. The City of Cortland Enforcement Office has recently updated their procedures and a complaint form is now available on-line.
