Bringing the Greek Community Together

[knight_shadow]

On my campus, the "cutesy" things didn't really work for the LGLO/MC Greeks. If folks wanted to join forces, it was with some sort of service or programming. Maybe consider doing something like that.

Co-sign.

I think there is a basic question that would need to be answered here: What do you mean by "Greek"? Do you just mean NPC/IFC orgs, or do you also mean NPHC, LGLO, Multicultural and other social GLOs that may be on your campus but that may be outside the NPC/IFC tent. I think the parameters of "good ideas" are going to vary depending on how this question is answered.

Ditto. They had to force my chapter to participate in the Greek Unity events in the 1990s and we still did not participate in all of them. We considered them stupid and a waste of time, particularly for a small chapter that was busy (as far as Greekdom is concerned) planning campus events, parties as fun fundraisers, and community service.

To the OP, I recommend doing a survey of ALL of the councils/conferences of Greeks on your campus to see what they prefer. It is often the case in mixed conference/council campus that the events are centered around NPC/NIC and the non-NPC/non-NIC organizations feel as though they had no input.
