L retreat frats

Good afternoon,
We are sending this update on behalf of Retreat at Tampa management and
ownership, and the information included is extremely time sensitive and
requires action once read.
We understand that the Retreat community is home to a number of students
that are part of fraternity and sorority organizations. We appreciate the loyalty
we have received from returning members and thank you for your continued
trust in the Retreat Tampa while you make it your home.
Unfortunately, our General Liability insurance carrier who insures the
community has communicated that they are requiring any items
affiliated with a fraternity or sorority organization need to be removed
from the community cottages and areas around their exteriors. We
have been given the deadline of Wednesday, September 2151 for this to
take place. The items that need to be removed from the community
entirely (Not just relocated somewhere on site) include but are not
limited to:
- Fraternity letters standing outside of cottages
-All benches located in front of or behind cottages
-Hanging banners or Fraternity letters
-All mentions of The Retreat Tampa as the location for promotions,
advertisements, event locations, etc on social media and public
platforms.
The Retreat Tampa is an off-campus apartment community that is not
affiliated with nor do we do business with any of the fraternal/soronty
organizations on campus and we are now being required by said insurance
carrier to make these immediate changes on site.
We understand this is not at all what any of our residents want to hear, and
the current management team in the office is sincerely sorry for the updated
requirements being asked of you at this time. We are hopeful we will find
some way to identify the organizations on site in lieu of
benches/letters/banners/etc and we will keep all residents on that progress if
any is made.
Please contact the leasing office before September 215 with any questions
you have. After the 215t, management will assess the process of
disassembling and removing any remaining items that we have stated need
to be removed from the community.
Sincerely,
The Retreat at Tampa Team
