Comprised of affiliated and non-affiliated students, alumni, faculty, and staff, the Task Force will seek the input and participation from all members of the Babson community as it works to construct new approaches that will strengthen the Babson experience in the future, including a refocused, re-energized Greek community that contributes to the larger student life of the College in the best way possible. Please note: nominations for the Task Force have closed and membership is being confirmed at the time of publication of this message.
