April 14th General Meeting Minutes

Minutes for Greek Council

I. Co-Chairs
- The budget for Greek Council is being voted on today
o It’s looking like Greek Council will be receiving about $14,500
o A few of our requested programs were declined but it looks like they will be made available through other Trinity organizations
- Start looking at your schedules and send either Spencer or Laura nights and times you are available to meet for next year

II. Dr. Moffett
- Congratulations to SPURS, Gammas, Sigmas, Alpha Chis, and PDKs who all achieved excellence on their standards
- I Chis received an honorable mention. The book was phenomenal and I plan to use it to show to the Trinity University Board what Greeks are achieving
- Greek Week is going great!
o Congrats to Pikes for winning the dodge-ball tournament
o Pike vs. Staff/Administration dodge ball game? Make it happen!!!
 Because WE ALL would love to see Dean Tuttle dodgin’
o We are going to table the conversation about grades
- Trinity University Conduct Board Decision
o Hazing is a violation of University Policy so it seems appropriate that hazing violations are handled by the Trinity University Conduct Board
 Ex- swimmers had to go to the Trinity University Conduct Board for their hazing violations so it’s logical that the Greeks should have to do the same
o Unfortunately, Greek Council Judicial has not proven to be effective and we do not want this to present a bigger problem down the road. The Greek Judicial Board is great in theory but not pragmatically.
o I am trying to make sure that
1. Men and Women are happy to join our clubs and they enjoy the experience
2. I don’t want you guys to have to deal with something ugly should something bad happen down the road. This is a protective measure.
o We want to see clubs thrive not just survive
o I am always open to communication and my door is always open to you guys.
o I want to continue to challenge you to be the type of members founders will be proud of and new members will want to emulate.
- I will be meeting with the Trinity University Board on May 14th
o I’m going to speak of all the phenomenal things going on in the Greek Community. - My door is always open and conversation is always welcome.

III. Josh
- Please send Josh and update about how much money your club has raised
- So far, we predict Greek have raised around $50,000!
- We will be training Judicial Chairs so that if member break rules, clubs can deal with it internally. Ultimately, this will lead to a bigger and stronger role for judicial chairs.
- Alumni
o At the moment we are working on creating a Greek Alumni Advisory Council
o The new council will be an avenue to send infor to alumni and also to be able to pull in resources from them (networking, funding, etc..)
o It will also provide an active way for Greeks to get to have closer relationships with their alumni
