NPC and NIC chapters will hear more about this soon in mailings from HQ but there is a movement called GO VOTE 04 (Greeks Oranizing Voting Opportunities, Transportation and Education in 2004). It is an effort to do exactly what Baby P suggested. Chapters are encouraged to either as a joint effort through IFC and/or Panhellenic or as an individual chapter project to sponsor voter registration drives. The booklet that some groups received at Conventions (Pi Phi chapters will get it in their HQ mailing ) details how to do this and gives contact information for different states.
Getting students registered and enthused about voting is an important first step to getting your issues heard. Politicians work hardest for those who get them(or got them) elected. No matter what your political inclinations, this is a great project.
