Letter from the Director

Dear K-State Chapter Advisors, K-State Chapter Officers, and National Office Staff:
 
For those of you I don't know, please allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Gayle Spencer and I am an Associate Dean of Student Life here at K-State.  Effective May 24th, I began overseeing the Greek Affairs Office.  I have spent the last few weeks getting to know our Greek Affairs staff better, and getting updated on our progress as an office.  I am amazed by all the great things our Greek community does.
 
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to again be working with our K-State Greek Community.  Having served as a sorority chapter advisor the past thirteen years here at K-State, I am very appreciative of all the hard work and accomplishments of our chapters and their members, officers, advisors, and alumni/ae.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email, [email protected], or by phone.  My office number is 785-532-6541; my cell phone number is 785-770-0093.
 
I look forward to working with those I know; and meeting and getting to work with those I haven't had the chance to yet.

Regards,

Gayle Spencer, Ph.D.
