Dynamics of Greek Life on campus

Have this discussion placed on the agenda for the next Greek Office (however you all do the meetings where each GLO sends a rep) meeting. Then you all can discuss suggestions for how to foster more understanding and get more positive social and service interactions.

Like a few people have already said, unity across councils is about the same at most campuses that have more than one council. Even Greek Week at some campuses doesn't get equal participation across councils for reasons such as numbers and organizational protocol. Outside of Greek Week, organizations that do joint programs across councils are usually doing so because individuals get along very well. It often has less to do with Greek unity and more to do with people liking the social and service efforts of particular groups. Sometimes these are people who take classes together or live around each other--they get along and have extended this to certain aspects of Greekdom. I definitely have seen this happen with tiny NPHC sorority chapters and large IFC chapters.
