Go Greek BBQ!

NPHC Showcase On Saturday, September 12, the National Pan-Hellenic Council hosted a showcase inviting the public to learn more about each organization in the council. The event was very successful and included performances of strolling, stepping, and chanting. They had a DJ and food to entertain their guests. Watch out for this annual event next fall!

STAFF SUBMISSIONS

“During Family Weekend, OFSL hosted our first Fraternity and Sorority Community Center Open House! We decorated the community room with banners, a slideshow, music, pamphlets for parents to learn about Greek life, food and a few giveaways, too. Insomnia Cookies even donated a few boxes for our event! The whole open house was very successful, and we look forward to expanding it even more for next time.” -Maddie

“With the first round of midterms out of the way, students all over campus are coming to the shocking realization that it’s not just the beginning of the semester any more. The weather is getting cooler and leaves are beginning to change color, promoting an exciting atmosphere for Fall festivities. Why not celebrate the new season by celebrating your organization? You can now show off your chapter’s pride, upcoming events, accomplishments, and much more in the new FSL display case located on the first floor of the Student Union!
