• As Greek Life at a small university, we are unique because our organizations are watching out for everyone in the Greek community!
• OPEN DOOR POLICY – come in if Josh is there, definitely ready to talk about any Greek or university issues.

Alcohol use policy originally came from Becky’s office, so for first few weeks Josh is taking over. Cannot use someone from your own organization as the bartender, too much liability. Someone TABC certified outside organization to bartend, as advice and recommendation as opposed to policy. High Expectations for Greek Life! Set a new bar! Higher GPA, more service hours, and the face at all university events! Presidents step up! Greeks at Trinity = 27% of student population
