Interest Group at Marietta College

I've downloaded and read the Guide to the Colony Program. On page 15 it has a place for the "music unit" signature. That is the problem I had mentioned earlier because the chairman of the music department won't speak to me about it.

What's interesting though is that it has a place for the signature but doesn't specifically say that it is required. However, I know our PG won't approve it without that signature as he mentioned at one of our meetings.

My bad. I'm not sure how I missed that part of the form. I might've glossed over it thinking it wasn't an issue when I had read through it all.

It sucks that he won't sanction it. Best of luck with it all, but don't give up.

Fraternal Greetings,

The chain of command does not end with the chairman. Don't give up just because someone won't speak to you. If one guy can't help you have other resources available up the chain. You could present the idea to the Dean of the College of Music or higher if needed. Also, I would get alumni involved. You could start with your Province Alumni Coordinator or the closet one to your proximity. Also consider contacting an alumni association. We have an association based out of Central Ohio. Their website is at http://alumni.sinfonia3.org/coaa/. Let them know exactly what you told us on GC. Another approach is to send a letter to National Headquarters or email them. They have the resources available and can help point you in the right direction. There are many roads that lead to Rome. Hang in there and if you need help drafting some type of proposal or need help please don't hestitate to PM me.

OAS,
