B.I.G.
B.I.G. is the all Greek philanthropy that is held annually.  This year, the philanthropy will be held in conjunction with the Volunteer Center as the kick off to their 'Make a Difference Week'.  On October 23rd the entire Greek community, will participate in an event that will include, but is not limited to, leaf raking, trash pickup, house cleanup, gutter cleaning, etc. We will be dispersed across the community at many locations that are all in need of services before winter sets in.  Busing will be available for sites that are further away, but we will be looking to chapters for some transportation needs.

Please return your pre-registration sheet to Greek Affairs by October 14th at 5pm.

Also, e-mail Heather Houchen or Logan Gauby if know of anyone interested or you would like to be trained to be a site leader for this project. We would love your help!

GAMMA
(Greeks Advocating the Mature Managment of Alcohol)

Are you interested in forming a peer education group that works as a team to identify high-risk student behavior and then creatively develops ways to educate Greek members?

 

GAMMA is a leadership program specifically for fraternity and sorority members who agree to be advocates to their chapter members. GAMMA members can lead the way for learning more about health and safety issues, and reduce some of the high-risk behaviors that can cause harm to individuals or to the chapter.
