Letter from the Fraternity Advisor

Dear K-State Chapter Advisors, K-State Chapter Officers, and National Office Staff:
 
I wanted to introduce myself to all of you as the Interim Assistant Director and Primary Fraternity Advisor here at K-State Greek Affairs.  I recently graduated from K-State with my masters in Counseling and Student Development.  During my undergraduate career I held many offices within my chapter including chapter president. I have previously worked in the Office of Student Life here at K-State as the Graduate Research Assistant. 

I started in the office on August 2nd, and over the past few weeks have had the opportunity to meet with chapter presidents, IFC officers and a few chapter consultants.  I look forward to learning more about each of your chapters and making sure you are provided with the resources to contribute to your chapter's success.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email, lindsey8@k-state.edu, or by phone.  My office number is 785-532-5546 and my cell phone number is 785-236-0158.
 
I look forward to meeting and working with all of you over this coming year!  Go CATS!

Sincerely,

Lindsey Swoyer
