Greek Newsletter

[MysticCat]

At least for the first newsletter, you might ask chapters to provide the latest piece sent in for their national magazines. That might get you some responses more quickly, since nothing new would have to be written.

doesnt that get messy with copyright laws?

oh, and great ideas provided thus far. a couple of ideas off thetop in case you need "filler" content (though i doubt it as there are 15 orgs on your campus!)

--birthday shout-out? (people always like recognition)
--a day in the life of a greek
--advice column (well, that could get a little messy, even with anonymity and all. but you could keep it simple and all)
--alumni section (and this would probably come after your newsletter is established and all) where you have updates on chapter alums, what theyre up to since graduation, favorite memories of the house, etc.

I wouldn't think so, although I guess depending on the exact situation with each magazine, and whether it "owns" the pieces submitted by each chapter (which may or may not make it into the magazine as submitted), it might. Still, though, it'd be a good starting place -- just putting on new tires instead of re-inventing the wheel.
