• Congratulations to the organizations as a whole, we have significantly less fines
for rosters this semester
o Due to technical difficulties, I couldn’t actually print out the fines at the
moment, but if you did get fined it will be in your mailbox
o There is only one organization that didn’t turn in their rosters on time –
SOE
o It seems as though there is some confusion on how to pay a fine so if you
do get fined the process to pay a fine goes like this:
 Go to the CADI office next to the mailroom
• They close around 4:30 so plan accordingly
 Let Jackie, the receptionist, know you are there to pay a fine for
your Greek organization
 She will direct you to either Ben, who will be able to help you pay
the fine either with a PO or with cash. He will give you a receipt.
 Put the receipt in the Greek Council Mailbox in Student Activities
office


Just for reference the mailbox is on the first row closest to
the door and it’s the 3rd one off the ground
• Normally there will be a wooden block with a key attached
to it in it along with it being labeled Greek Council
If you ever forget this, the instructions are written out on the fines
that you receive
If you don’t know ask Joli, I wouldn’t ask Naomi necessarily
because she might not know how to direct you to do this
If it really comes down to it you can email me at
[email protected] and I will gladly send you a description on
how to pay your fine

coordinate with CADI from there
Open Discussion
• Greg, Alex and Jess can talk about the trip we went on for APCA while we were
absent last week
o APCA stands for Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities
o It was a really good weekend and we definitely learned a lot coming out of
the weekend and just coming into this semester with an even better
attitude
o The big thing that we really want to focus on is the involvement with
everybody on campus because the involvement is not as high as we want it
to be
o We want to get involvement not just from our fellow Greeks, but also to
people who aren’t even in Greek Life
o As Student Leaders we hate hearing the saying “I’m bored because there’s
nothing to do on this campus.”
o It was a really fun weekend, we got new comedians, magicians, new bands
 A lot of interesting things coming next semester and even this
semester a couple of comedians will be coming
•
o Please be on the lookout for new events, new people and try to just go out
there and use the social fee you pay for living on campus !
 That’s where it all goes to and if you aren’t taking advantage of it
you are pretty much throwing your money away
o It’s really important that you go out there to support
 If you want to have a word in it, get involved and join clubs
 SPB is the perfect one if you want to be involved with what events
are brought to campus
ZPO- There are 4 people running for treasurer in Greek Council, but there is also
a position in Student Senate that needs to be filled for fall, so if you lose this
election try and go for Student Senate treasurer instead!
o It is pretty much the same thing, but it is with 40 clubs and you only hold
the account for Student Senate
o It’s not too much work and its fun so I highly encourage it
Meeting Closed- 7:39 pm BDE
