Greetings!

Marina Grgas
Grand Vice President - Collegiates
|
Greetings from your GVPC! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday! This time of year is a reminder to all that there is so much to be thankful for--family, friends, education, food, shelter--the list can go on for an eternity. What are you thankful for? At your next chapter meeting, take some time to discuss what you are all thankful for. Make this a mini chapter project or a chapter bonding event. Something as small as this can be instrumental in bringing a chapter a little closer together.
As the semester quickly comes to an end, I wish you all the best of luck on finals. Study hard!
I hope you all enjoy this Winter Edition of LinKS. Feel free to email me suggestions for future LinKS publications.
Lambs Love,
Marina Grgas

| Calling All "How-To's"! | |  Did your chapter organize and execute a very successful fundraising event? Did your chapter's professional committee organize an outstanding project? Let us know. We want to hear about it!
"How-To" sheets are step-by-step instructions on how to organize and execute a particular event or project. The instructions should be specific and detail-oriented, so that anyone can read them and reproduce the event or project.
"How-To" sheets can be very beneficial for chapters that are struggling with developing new and innovative ideas or for chapters that just need a change. By submitting a "How-To" sheet, you are not only highlighting your chapter's successes but would also be helping other chapters in need. If you wish to submit a "How-To" sheet, please email me. It will be featured in the Spring and Summer editions of LinKS. |

Risk Management and the Code of Conduct
| |
Lambda Kappa Sigma adopted a Risk Management program in 2008 to protect our members and our Fraternity. Through this program, LKS has taken a strong stance against hazing, drugs and alcohol. A Code of Conduct was created and each member is required to read and sign it.
In addition, LKS has implemented an event-planning approval process for overnight and weekend chapter events, as well as events that are held more than 40 miles from the campus. If your chapter wishes to plan such an event, please submit a petition and an event planning form to the Grand Council 30 days prior to the date of the event.
The Grand Council is currently working on detailed event guidelines to assist with planning. Stay tuned for more information. Please contact your Region Supervisor if you have any questions regarding Risk Management and/or the Code of Conduct.
